UK policy
The UK government has set out its commitment to be the world’s first net zero financial centre. The PRI UK policy team engages with UK policymakers, alongside and with the support of signatories, to ensure this high ambition is maintained.
In 2022 the UK will continue to push forward with a package of consultations and reforms under the Sustainable Disclosures Requirements (SDR) and the development of the UK Green Taxonomy - a tool to help investors understand whether an economic activity is environmentally sustainable, and to navigate the transition to a low-carbon economy. The UK policy team works on both of these priorities, as well as stewardship, real economy climate issue and building on the findings of the flagship A Legal Framework for Impact report, to guide policy recommendations to better integrate sustainability impacts into UK financial legislation. See further below for PRI’s resources on UK sustainable finance policy work.

Call for evidence
Green Finance Strategy
The PRI responded to a call for evidence by HM Government to support the update to the Green Finance Strategy. The call for evidence seeks views around four objectives; capturing the opportunity of green finance; mobilising finance for the UK’s energy security, climate and environmental objectives; greening the financial system; and leading internationally.
Transition Plan Taskforce
The PRI welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Transition Plan Taskforce’s call for evidence on a Sector-Neutral Framework for private sector transition plans. This call for evidence seeks views on the draft principles used to guide a credible transition plan, the elements that a Sector-Neutral Framework should include, and overall aims to drive transition plans by developing clear expectations and creating a standard.
