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.
For the first quarter of 2025 the key updates for the UK include HM Treasury's consultation on a green taxonomy and the Financial Reporting Council's Stewardship Code consultation which we supported to lighten the burden on managers.
In the EU, important developments include the PSF publishing a draft report with recommendations on amendments to the EU Taxonomy and the European Commission published the Omnibus simplification package, the much-anticipated proposal on cutting red tape.
More details on these and other global developments can be read in the attached pdf.
