As interest in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) continues to grow, so does the need for sector specific guidance, regulation and reporting requirements. In November 2022 the FCA announced their refreshed ESG Strategy with the aim to “support the financial sector in driving positive change” and since then, this has been steadily progressing. In this webinar we tackle what the FCA have to say about ESG, why it is a priority on their regulatory agenda, and what rules and guidance have been developed in this space. We will also explore what their strategy and recent discussion paper consultations may mean for future ESG Regulation.
• Understand why ESG matters are high on the regulatory agenda • Be able to explain the key components of the FCA’s ESG strategy • Learn what actions the regulator has already taken in relation to ESG (such as the anti-greenwashing rule & guidance)
