governance


This SPP response to the FCA consultation on ESG ratings welcomes their objective of enhancing transparency and providing robust reliable ratings and minimum disclosures for ESG rating providers.

However, the SPP warn of possible practical challenges that will require further consideration including the impact on smaller providers, access to data as well as legal and governance concerns.

This response sets out SPP's views on proposals designed to ensure that trusteeship, governance and administration standards keep pace with the evolving pensions landscape.

The SPP response emphasises that the UK’s current trusteeship framework is working well for the vast majority of members, delivering secure benefits and governance standards that are proportionate to scheme size and complexity.
