FCA speaks on transition finance

Emily Shepperd, speaking at the UK Sustainable Investment and Finance Association Leadership Summit, spoke of the role the financial services sector can play in helping to plug the net zero gap. She spoke of the initiatives the FCA has already taken, including the SDR and investment labels regime and anti-greenwashing guidance, as well as its participation in wider fora. It is now taking stock of its processes as market practice evolves.

The FCA has prioritised the need to build trust from both industry and investors, and will be consulting on strengthening expectations for listed companies’ transition plan disclosures and continue to work with international associations.
