Event Summary

The UK SRS S1 and UK SRS S2 were published earlier this year and ESG reporting rules are changing.

Don’t miss the opportunity to gain clarity, guidance, and insights on what’s changing at Westminster Insight’s ESG and Sustainability Reporting Conference, taking place in London this November.

Chaired by Nick Rowbottom, Professor of Accounting and Corporate Reporting, The Department of Accounting, University of Birmingham, this conference will bring you timely updates about the final Sustainability Reporting Standards and future reporting requirements. You will hear directly from Vanessa LeBlanc, Sustainable Finance Policy Manager, Financial Conduct Authority, on the FCA’s conclusions and comply-or-explain approach.  

Mark Manning, IFRS Foundation and ISSB, and Ravi Abeywardana, ICAEW, will examine how to turn climate commitments into reportable strategy.

For smaller and medium-sized businesses, hear how to get ahead without a dedicated team using practical, proportionate approaches to data collection and disclosure for organisations without specialist resource.

Other invaluable sessions focus on key considerations, such as investor relations: what is key from their perspective? What does successful Board governance look like, in terms of embedding sustainability reporting successfully within your organisation; and how do you avoid compliance failures?  You will hear about this and much more.

With organisations, the Government, and much of society now recognising the ever-increasing importance of sustainability, and with this reflected in policy, there has never been a more vital time to understand how to successfully develop and manage your ESG reporting strategy.

So please join us, as we bring together the crucial experts including the regulator, policy makers, large, medium and small companies at the forefront of implementation, and more.  Together, we will explore the latest regulatory updates, and you will benefit from a unique mix of learning and innovation from senior specialists, practitioners, and successful adopters.

You will have the opportunity to engage with peers, from cross-cutting sectors and hear how sustainability reporting drives business growth by transforming ESG data into strategic insight.  We look forward to seeing you there.
