Organisations in South Africa have been preparing integrated reports since 2011. To see some of these reports, take a look at the Award Programmes page for the award-winning reports over the years.
While South Africa has not, as at March 2026, mandated the ISSB sustainability standards, some of the larger companies, listed and non-listed, have voluntarily adopted these standards in their corporate reporting suite in 2026 in addition to their existing sustainability reporting covering impacts using the GRI standards and others.
The corporate reporting suite approaches used by companies in South Africa most often follow the octopus approach, where the integrated report is the ‘head’ of the octopus with the detailed sustainability disclosures located in a separate sustainability or climate report. (The octopus approach is explained in these three IRC Information Papers: Achieving a Concise Integrated Report; Integrated Reporting and using a Layering Approach to Sustainability Reporting; and A Global Comprehensive Corporate Reporting System.)
As company reports become available – and to show how companies are dealing with layering ISSB, GRI and King V disclosures – links to the integrated reports and their corporate reporting suites will be housed on this page.
