The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority had been expected to consult on its proposed answer (so to speak) to the EU’s SFDR at the end of this month. An update on the FCA website states that they now plan to consult “in the autumn, to allow [officials] to take account of other international policy initiatives and ensure stakeholders have time to consider these issues”.
Loyal readers will recall our interest in this, following our support for a real estate industry submission to the FCA (and others) advocating for real estate industry specific metrics and product labels alongside mainstream TCFD ones. We plan to consider the autumn consultation from the point of view of real estate lenders – let Peter know if you’d like to be involved.
