Over the last few years, we've seen the first phase of ESG regulation become business as usual within the financial services sector. But EU, UK and global regulators continue to push new ESG regulations at a frantic pace, and now’s the time for firms to take stock of what’s coming on the horizon and what needs to be on your radar in the next couple of years.
This seven-part webinar series recorded in October 2023 aims to de-mystifies the ESG regulations that are impacting the financial services sector. Each webinar provides an introduction to that regulation and what it is trying to achieve, covers the practical impact on business, and sets out the timeline for when action needs to be taken and what you need to prioritise.
EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Taxonomy disclosures for banks, investment firms and asset managers
Corporate sustainability reporting will be in force in the EU from 1 January 2024 and the reporting standards have now been published. In this webinar we discuss how this (as well as Taxonomy reporting) will impact firms both as reporting entities and as consumers of such reports.
Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) under the FCA Rules - What can “phase 2” firms learn from “phase 1” implementation?
The largest asset managers and asset owners have now made their disclosures in accordance with the FCA's rules based on TCFD recommendations. Smaller in-scope firms will need to make their disclosures by 30 June 2024 as part of "phase 2". In this webinar you will hear about the lessons learned and tips for successful implementation.
The EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CS3D) - beyond disclosure: how could this initiative impact firms?
CS3D will require firms to take action on sustainability impacts within their own operations and their value chain. In this webinar we provide an overview of where CS3D is in the legislative process and what the impacts on financial services firms could look like.
Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) - nature and biodiversity on the agenda for financial services.
This session provides insights into the complementary roles of TNFD and TCFD in redefining our approach to environmental challenges and disclosures as well as some of the practical potential challenges presented by the differences between both frameworks and practical steps on how to get started with TCFD and how to build on that in preparation for TNFD.
International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) - adoption in the UK and beyond
The ISSB standards are receiving global support and will likely form the basis of sustainability reporting in numerous jurisdictions. In this webinar we examine what the ISSB standards are, how they may be integrated into sustainability disclosure regimes and what firms can be doing now.
Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) – taking stock after 2.5 years and what’s on the horizon
With a full round of SFDR disclosures under our belts but further consultation and change on the menu, in this session we take stock of where we are, discuss lessons learned and scan the horizon.
ESG ratings – UK and EU regulation proposals
Both the EU and the UK are proposing a regulatory regime for ESG rating agencies. In this webinar we examine the proposals and how these will impact users of ESG ratings.
