Delegates will hear updates on the proposed UK Sustainability Reporting Standards, the role of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and the wider regulatory framework, including forthcoming oversight of ESG ratings providers. Alongside regulatory developments, the programme explores practical approaches to embedding sustainability into corporate strategy and producing high-quality ESG disclosures.
