ESG & Energy Financing and Funding Partners
Are you prepared for the imminent changes in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) compliance in the UK? For commercial and industrial (C&I) businesses, aligning with ESG standards will soon be more than just a best practice; it will be a legal requirement.
The New Mandate for ESG Compliance
In the evolving landscape of corporate responsibility, ESG compliance is becoming a crucial component for businesses worldwide. The UK is leading this charge, with new rules and regulations set to take effect soon. If you’re a Sustainability Manager, Business Owner, Managing Director, Facilities Operations Manager, or Finance Director, this info is for you. Let’s explore what ESG compliance entails, why it’s essential, and how you can prepare your business effectively.
What ESG Compliance Means
ESG compliance involves adhering to standards focusing on environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and strong governance practices. For UK businesses, these guidelines are influenced by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and will soon become mandatory.
Key Deadlines and Requirements
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) will enforce these new rules for UK-listed companies, with non-listed companies expected to follow suit by mid-2025. Starting January 1, 2026, companies will need to report on climate-related issues and disclose their plans for a sustainable future.
The Benefits of ESG Compliance
- Your Business is Legally Compliant
The FCA will ensure compliance, providing a framework that encourages transparency and accountability. By understanding these requirements now, and deploying the right measures, businesses can avoid penalties and position themselves as sustainability leaders. - Enhancing Customer and Employee Loyalty
Modern consumers are more aware of sustainability issues than ever before. A NielsenIQ study found that 3 out of 4 consumers want companies to reduce their environmental footprint, with 61% stating that sustainability is more important than two years ago. Employees care too: 38% of UK workers would accept lower pay to work for a company prioritizing sustainability. - Reduce Your Energy Costs
Businesses can significantly reduce energy costs by deploying renewable energy solutions. Solar energy, for instance, often costs less than traditional fossil fuels. APS provides a fully funded solution, which means organizations don’t require capital outlay to benefit from renewable energy.
- Attracting Investors
Investors are increasingly looking for companies with strong ESG credentials. According to an EY survey, 78% of investors believe companies should invest in ESG improvements, even at the expense of short-term profits.
