A new more rigorous and consequential age has begun for companies’ climate and sustainability considerations. The spate of recent infringement notices, investigations and proceedings by regulators show regulators are now clearly focussed on enforcement when it comes to greenwashing, not just education.

At the same time, significant steps are being taken towards mandatory climate and sustainability reporting, which will require more detailed disclosure.

As expected, the focus appears to have moved to expanding the scope of disclosures, with increased scope 3 disclosures, nature-related disclosures and interim targets.
