Pensions Regulator publishes report on ESG compliance
United Kingdom | Publication | August 2024
On July 30, 2024, the Regulator published its market oversight report on how trustees are complying with their environmental, social and governance (ESG) duties, including in respect of climate change.

- Consider going beyond climate change reporting and voluntarily becoming early adopters of reporting on aspects such as social factors or nature related reporting.
- Take a more thorough approach to assessing their scheme’s arrangements with asset managers in order to protect saver outcomes.
