Last week the UK Government published an update setting out the next steps of implementing the UK Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR) as part of their Green Finance Strategy set out in 2023. The document provides a revised timeline confirming upcoming consultations on the UK implementation of the IFRS S1 and S2 standards (UK SRS), Transition Plan disclosures, the UK Green Taxonomy design, and further extensions to the SDR. It also welcomes the work of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), suggesting that it will eventually become a part of the UK sustainability reporting regime. With the FCA anti-greenwashing rule and its corresponding guidance taking effect from 31st May this year (i.e. next week!), now is the time for companies to get ahead of the curve and prepare for what continues to be a transformative period for UK sustainability reporting requirements.
