Deloitte ESG Regulatory Outlook Seminar

Deloitte is hosting an ESG regulatory outlook seminar for non-executive directors and individuals working in the Guernsey investment fund sector.

The event, which takes place on 21 June, will provide an overview of recent and significant ESG international and UK reporting developments, including IFRS S1/S2 and the new FCA anti-greenwashing rules.

Expert speakers will also comment on the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (‘TCFD’) FY23 Benchmarking of the top 20 largest UK asset managers.

In addition to exploring what these regulations mean for the Guernsey investment fund sector now and in the future, there will be time for audience questions and networking.

The event will be co-hosted by Jessica Hodges, Deloitte’s UK ESG Investment Management and Wealth lead Partner and Charlotte Lewis, Deloitte Director and ESG lead for Islands and Gibraltar.

Sustainable investment has become increasingly important in recent years due to growing awareness from investors concerned about the environmental and social impact, as well as the associated ESG risks and opportunities of the companies they invest in.

“It’s not just about managing risk. Considering factors such as capitalising on the huge economic opportunity from the clean energy transition to streamlining operations to cut costs by integrating sustainability measures, investing can achieve performance and purpose. Consumer awareness and the rapidly evolving regulatory changes are also driving the growth of sustainable investment.” said Charlotte Lewis (pictured), Deloitte Director and ESG lead for Islands and Gibraltar.
