QUESTIONS
- Can you give us a brief introduction to your role, remit, and relevance of the topic to your day-to-day operations?
- Are the FCA’s Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR) and investment labels a real blueprint for the future of the ESG industry? Where is there room for growth?
- Alternatively, is there any danger of these regional regulatory approaches becoming a detriment to the global investor? How can they better prevent greenwashing and other concerns?
- Can a common definition of "sustainable investments" be achieved and how so? How can the term be better leveraged for reporting purposes?
- How can investors have confidence that existing reporting structures and processes work – especially when it comes to determining how close portfolio companies are to their net zero goals?
How can emerging technology be better utilised to improve the accuracy of sustainability reporting outcomes? What are the pain points and potential remedies in this area?
