UK Sustainable Finance Regulatory Developments

Please take a moment to listen to our podcast on sustainable finance regulation in the UK. Jessica Reed and Fiona Lowrie discuss the evolving regulatory rules for financially regulated firms. It is a highly technical area and there has been a significant amount of policy development, so we have prepared a handout (click here to view) alongside the podcast, linked below.

The areas covered include:

• What is sustainable finance and ESG?
• Brexit and the UK approach to regulating sustainable finance
• The introduction of mandatory climate change disclosures
• Scope
• Implementation
• The introduction of SDR and labelling requirements
• ESG guiding principles for funds
• Practical considerations for affected firms

If you require further information about anything covered in this briefing, please contact Jessica Reed, Fiona Lowrie or your usual contact at the firm on +44 (0)20 3375 7000.
