In the UK, the joint regulator and government task force on climate-related financial disclosures (TCFD) published the roadmap towards mandatory climate-related disclosures.
This was followed by an ongoing consultation on the proposals related to mandatory TCFD-aligned disclosures from publicly quoted companies, large private companies, and limited liability partnerships.
Unsurprisingly, environmental, social and governance (ESG) and impact investing have taken a prominent place in all investor discussions lately.
In the second episode of our podcast, Irina is joined by our guests, Edward Dixon, Head of ESG, Aviva Investors Real Assets and Paul Young, Managing Director, Head of Finance, Risk and Compliance, Grant Thornton, to discuss how the COVID-19 situation has increased the focus on sustainability and ESG. We also cover the upturn in regulatory activity in this space and look in detail at what investors are facing in terms of regulation and how they can prepare for it.
