UK policy
With the support of signatories, the PRI engages with UK policymakers to shape and uphold the government's ambition to be a world leader in sustainable finance.
The UK's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) advice provide a strong foundation; and the focus should now shift to implementing policy commitments to achieve this ambition. While the UK has made progress on key sustainable policy files, it lags in areas such as a Green Taxonomy and ISSB implementation.
The PRI's UK policy team addresses these issues - alongside stewardship, real economy, human rights, social issues, and investor duties - to ensure a policy framework is developed that supports and mainstreams responsible investment practices.
