Sustainability reporting in the UK: practical steps your business needs to take

In this episode of Business Talks, hosts Tom Alun-Jones and Zoe Thomas are joined by Alastair Loasby, Saffery’s Director of Sustainability and ESG, to explain what the UK Sustainability Reporting Standards (UK SRS) are trying to achieve and consider the practical steps your business needs to take.

They discuss:

• What sustainability means in the context of long-term business strategies
• How UK SRS links to ISSB and IFRS S1 and S2
• The current UK reporting landscape, including TCFD and SECR
• What S1 and S2 require across governance, strategy and risk management
• Why adoption is likely to be staggered, and where Scope 3 fits in
• How investor and supply chain pressure can accelerate ‘voluntary’ reporting
