Gather Around – Issue 43 – May 2023

In this month’s issue, we outline why your company should start preparing for double materiality. Many companies will need to prepare a double materiality assessment in line with EU sustainability requirements. Whether your company is in scope or not, it’s important for you to start thinking about double materiality to get ahead.  

As part of ‘Green Day’, the UK Govt published a suite of new and updated documents outlining its latest climate and energy policy. The policy updates present opportunities to report on how your company’s leadership is responding to recent developments. Not sure where to start? We outline key areas, with reporting in mind, for you to consider with your Board. 

As something new happens in the sustainability reporting landscape every week, we’ve outlined the key developments this month. In regulatory news, the biggest headline is the FCA’s consulting on equity rule reforms, which the FRC welcomes.
