As of May 31, 2024, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has implemented the Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR), signaling a pivotal moment in the financial industry’s commitment to combat greenwashing. Under these regulations, FCA-regulated entities are mandated to ensure their sustainability claims are transparent, fair, and accurate, aligning with ISSB standards and Consumer Duty rules through annual disclosures.
For venture capital and private equity firms, compliance with these regulations represents more than a mere box-ticking exercise. It presents an opportunity to not only meet regulatory obligations but also to embrace sustainability as a driver of long-term value creation and investor trust.
