The Association of Governance, Risk & Compliance (AGRC) is pleased to be supporting the 4th Annual Sustainability Reporting Summit, which is taking place on 6 November in London.

This year’s Summit takes place against a backdrop of major regulatory change. The UK government has just published exposure drafts for the proposed new UK Sustainability Reporting Standards (UK SRS) and launched a consultation on mandatory transition plan requirements for major companies and financial institutions. It has also published a consultation on the development of a voluntary registration regime for the providers of assurance of sustainability reporting. These developments mark a pivotal step towards aligning UK reporting with global best practices and driving private investment into clean energy—positioning the UK as the sustainable finance capital of the world.

Sessions will explore the latest global and UK-specific developments in sustainability reporting, including the evolving landscape shaped by CSRD, CSDDD, EU Taxonomy, ISSB, and the new UK SRS. Attendees will gain practical insights into regulatory shifts, sector-specific challenges, and the integration of digital solutions for robust ESG data management.

The agenda features keynote addresses from leading international and UK figures, interactive panel discussions across finance, manufacturing, retail, and energy sectors, and expert-led case studies on transition planning, supply chain resilience, and nature-related disclosures. The Summit will also address the future of assurance, the role of ESG rating agencies, and best practices for communicating sustainability achievements to stakeholders.
