Pensions - Articles - New ESG guide issued by The Society of Pension Professionals

 The guide provides a comprehensive outline of the various regulatory ESG disclosure requirements, ESG disclosure obligations for asset managers, a summary of the information that trustees need from their asset managers and a breakdown of the role of the investment consultant in ESG matters.

 SPP President, Sophia Singleton, said; “This practical guide is a welcome addition to the available guidance on ESG for trustees, builds on our 2023 guidance on the same and is packed full of useful information in the form of checklists, summaries and case studies as well as more in-depth guidance.

 There is still some uncertainty about obligations in this area so we hope this SPP guidance will play a useful role in raising awareness and understanding.”
