The quarterly regulation update outlines the key developments in sustainability regulation globally. The primary focus is on sustainability policy milestones as well as consultations that will result in rules shaping the investment industry in the future.
At Schroders, we believe that working with peers and policymakers on sustainability issues is an important activity. As part of our wider public policy engagement, we regularly respond to public consultations both directly and working with investor groups, contributing to responses submitted by industry bodies such as the Investment Association and European Fund and Asset Management Association (EFAMA). Where relevant, we flag consultations to which we have contributed or plan to contribute directly.
In the UK, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued a consultation on proposals for transparent, reliable and comparable ESG ratings. The implementation of these measures is projected to generate approximately £500 million in net benefits over the next ten years.
In the EU, the European Commission launched a call for evidence on the EU Taxonomy Climate and Environmental Delegated Acts (DAs). The EC is seeking feedback to address several challenges associated with the current DAs.
