UK policy

The PRI engages with UK policymakers, alongside and with the support of signatories, to shape and support the implementation of the UK government's commitment to be a net zero financial centre.

In the beginning of 2023, the UK government published a suite of documents including the 2023 Green Finance Strategy and the Net Zero Growth plan. These reiterated existing commitments on Sustainability Disclosure Requirements and development of the UK Green Taxonomy, as well as new commitments to clarify fiduciary duty and transition plan requirements. The UK policy team works on these issues, alongside stewardship, real economy, climate issues, and building on the findings of A Legal Framework for Impact report, to guide policy recommendations to better integrate sustainability impacts into UK financial legislation.
