Subject. This article discusses the Exposure Drafts of International Sustainability Reporting Standards.
Objectives. The article aims to explore the particularities of the architecture of Drafts Sustainability Reporting Standards submitted by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) under the IFRS Foundation and the Project Task Force on European Sustainability Reporting Standards.
Methods. For the study, I used analysis, synthesis, comparison, and generalization.
Results. Based on a comparative analysis of the architecture, provisions and substance of the Exposure Drafts submitted by the two developers, the article notes that there are certain differences in aspects of the organization's activities covered by the studied systems of standards, goal-setting, and approaches to determining the materiality and applicability.
Conclusions and Relevance. The Exposure Drafts of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) under the IFRS Foundation aim to meet the information needs of capital markets, and they are based on the concept of financial materiality. The application of the European Standards will provide information in the field of sustainable development to a wide range of stakeholders, since they are based on the concept of double materiality. Both the systems aim to create conditions for more complete, coherent, comparable, and verifiable information in the field of sustainable development. The results of the study can be applied in the development of Russian requirements for the disclosure of sustainability-related information.

Keywords: sustainability reporting standards, cross-cutting standards, topical standards, industry-based requirements, financial materiality, double materiality
