FCA launches ESG ratings provider survey

The FCA is asking ESG ratings providers to complete a voluntary survey which will help to shape future regulation of ESG ratings and sustainability disclosures more generally. It wants to understand:

  • the business models and group structures used to provide ratings;
  • how ratings are constructed and distributed;
  • what policies and procedures firms have in pace; and
  • how firms interact with broader sustainability disclosures.

The FCA would like responses by 2 May if possible, and the survey will close on 16 May.
