US policy
Despite political headwinds, the United States is poised to make progress on sustainable financial policy, requiring disclosure of ESG-related information by issuers, strengthening shareholder rights and supporting investors as they look to further integrate ESG factors in their investment strategies.
As the world’s largest capital market, the PRI is actively engaged in the US, working with Congress, regulators, allies and signatories to build a sustainable financial system.
