The FCA’s consultation on exercise of its powers under the new prospectus regime is closing on 18 October 2024.   The new framework replaces the UK Prospectus Regulation and provides the FCA with greater discretion to shape future rules.   🍃The key proposals of interest to issuers from a #sustainability perspective are: • New sustainability-related disclosure requirements for prospectuses • Specific disclosures for debt securities issuers • Introduction of a Protected Forward-Looking Statement regime for certain financial and operational information in prospectuses   This marks a significant push towards more quantitative sustainability disclosures and offers issuers new protections for forward-looking statements.

Are you stuck in indecision ESG? You have an ESG goal in your 2024 objectives. Clients are asking questions. You know there are some new regulations out there. But your not taking action. And your inaction is causing you stress. What if this is thing that explodes this year? What if you lose an RFP because you can't meet a client's expectations? Slow down. The first step is more obvious that it may appear. You need to assess your ESG gap. Here's how: • Create a master list of potential ESG actions from:   -  Client questionnaires   -  Investor questionnaires   -  Regulations   -  8 Elements Every ESG Program Must Have (l*nk in the comments)    • Inventory your current practices using the master list    • Identify the gaps and divide them into immediate actions, potential investments, and items to be considered next year Once this is done, you will have what you need to make some decisions. You will find some items are already complete, some are no-brainers, and others require executive input. Use that knowledge to get out if indecision and move foward. Need help?

The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD): an analysis of the potential economic and legal impact The paper examines the European directive on sustainability due diligence from both an economic and legal perspective, analysing the content and the scope of the financial and non-financial companies involved. In addition, it discusses the effectiveness of the directive in improving the sustainability of business activity and the potential economic effects on the companies involved. The paper describes the obligations required by the directive and estimates that in Italy they could affect 12 significant and 8 non-significant banks, 2 non-bank intermediaries and approximately 650 non-financial companies, as well as the companies in their chain of activities. The overall impact of the new discipline and its effectiveness will depend to a large extent on how it is implemented in practice #CSDDD #CS3D #CSRD #ESG #HumanRights
