Cascale and Worldly Release Policy Deep Dive on IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards
The adoption of International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards is critical as it fosters global alignment in sustainability reporting, reducing the need for companies to contend with a patchwork of national regulations. Adoption is gaining momentum in key regions, with 474 companies in Asia-Oceania and 296 in Europe already referencing ISSB standards. By March 2024, 1,151 companies had integrated ISSB disclosures, marking the beginning of a global shift toward standardized reporting that enhances market comparability and meets investors' growing demand for consistent, reliable data.
'Standardization in sustainability reporting is critical for the textiles and wider consumer goods industry,' said Elisabeth von Reitzenstein, director, policy and public affairs at Cascale. 'Our new deep dive demystifies IFRS S1 and S2 and demonstrates how these standards are setting a global benchmark for transparency and accountability. Developed in collaboration with Worldly, this report is designed to empower Cascale members and Higg Index users to align their reporting practices with emerging regulatory requirements and investor expectations.'
'Businesses that adopt International Financial Reporting Standards gain a clear financial picture, helping them uncover hidden risks in their supply chains and strengthen resilience in today's dynamic markets. By aligning sustainability reporting with these standards, companies will enhance transparency and cross-company comparability for their stakeholders, enable smarter decision-making, and align with global emerging regulations,' said JR Siegel, vice president, sustainability at Worldly.
By offering actionable insights and highlighting the strategic advantages of global alignment in sustainability reporting, this deep dive underscores its critical importance for the entire consumer goods sector. In an era where sustainability reporting is evolving from a voluntary best practice to a mandatory business imperative, this resource empowers industry stakeholders to innovate, differentiate, and lead the transition toward a more transparent, ethical, and sustainable global economy.

Jack Nathan Health Announces Its Q4 and Year End Fiscal 2025 Financial Results
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 11, 2025-- Jack Nathan Medical Corp. (TSXV: JNH, OTCQB: JNHMF) ('Jack Nathan Health', 'JNH' or the 'Company') announced today its audited consolidated annual financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, and fiscal year ended January 31, 2025. Jack Nathan Health's financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS'). Disclosure Regarding Filing Timing As previously disclosed in a press release issued on June 9, 2025, the Company was unable to file its annual financial statements, MD&A, and related CEO and CFO certifications for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, by the prescribed filing deadline of May 31, 2025. The delay was due to operational restructuring, resource realignment, and transition impacts following the divestiture of its Canadian primary care operations and the winding down of Mexico operations. The Company is pleased to confirm that it has now completed the filings within the 90-day permitted period, and all required documents are available on SEDAR+. Management Commentary Mike Marchelletta, Chief Executive Officer, commented: 'Fiscal 2025 was a pivotal year of transition for Jack Nathan Health. We successfully completed the divestiture of our Canadian primary care and licensee business, which significantly improved our balance sheet and eliminated legacy obligations. Following year-end, we also ceased all clinic operations in Mexico after the termination of our agreement with Walmart Mexico. With both legacy business segments now exited, our current focus is on internal restructuring, stabilizing our operations, and preserving cash while evaluating future strategic opportunities. We believe these actions have positioned the Company for a more focused path forward.' Financial Highlights for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, total consolidated revenues were $19.1 million, consistent with the prior year. Revenues from continuing operations increased 26% to $8.7 million driven by the full-year contribution from MedSpa operations and the continued activity of the Mexico division through fiscal year-end. MedSpa revenues were $1.03 million, up 90% year-over-year. Discontinued operations contributed $10.4 million in revenue prior to the sale of the Canadian medical clinic and licensee business on December 1, 2024. Note on Mexico Operations: The 2025 financial statements reflect the Mexico clinic operations as part of continuing operations, as these locations were active through January 31, 2025. However, subsequent to year-end, all operations in Mexico were fully ceased as of June 30, 2025 following the formal termination of the Company's agreement with Walmart Mexico. As such, the Mexico division is no longer part of Jack Nathan Health's active business going forward. The Company reported a loss from continuing operations of $2.5 million, compared to $1.3 million in the prior year. However, discontinued operations yielded a net gain of $9.99 million, largely driven by a $16.4 million gain on the sale of the Canadian operations. Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2025 Working capital improved to $1.4 million, compared to a working capital deficit of $0.5 million the year prior. Shares Outstanding As of January 31, 2025, the Company had 87,099,159 common shares outstanding, 1,650,000 stock options outstanding and 335,004 DSUs outstanding. For further information regarding the Company's financial results for fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, please refer to the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the 12 months ended January 31, 2025 together with the corresponding MD&A, available at and the JNH website https// About Jack Nathan Medical Corp.
