Sustainability regulation 

What UK pension schemes need to know about the current sustainability regulatory landscape 

The dynamic nature of the UK and EU regulatory landscape presents real challenges for UK pension schemes.  Understanding the implications of these key developments is essential to avoid getting lost in a regulatory maze.

Here we explore the latest updates keeping UK and EU policymakers and the whole financial industry busy: from the latest on Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) and the Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR).  We also dive into the two key disclosures that are directly impacting UK pension schemes: the Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) and Task Force for Nature-related Financial Disclosure (TNFD).  Together this short series provides an hour of CPD training on the essential information any trustee board needs to be on top of.
