Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government further to the Written Answer by the Minister for Employment Rights, Competition and Markets on 26 July 2024 (HC675), what new corporate reporting requirements they intend to introduce; and whether they intend to introduce new net-zero or 'environmental, social and governance' reporting requirements.

The Government is keen to ensure the UK's corporate reporting requirements support economic growth by providing the information that investors need to allocate capital effectively, while helping users of reporting understand how business activities align with the UK's net zero and environmental goals. The Government will shortly publish a consultation covering the endorsement of UK versions of International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) Standards.
