To diverge or to not diverge: Can UK businesses escape the new EU Sustainability Reporting regulations?

Fernandez Martin, Rosa Maria

Abstract

The obligation for companies to report on their impacts over environment, biodiversity and society is becoming increasingly normalised. With the departure of the UK from the EU legislative framework, some businesses in the UK may have hoped for less requirements to fulfil in the environmental area, but this is unlikely to be the case. Dr. Rosa Fernandez (Sustainability Lead at Keele Business School, Keele University) reflects on what the latest EU sustainability reporting regulations mean for UK businesses and what is the likely approach of the recently elected Labour government in the UK on this area.
