There are so many ESG-related publications and developments that it is hard to keep abreast of them all. For this reason, every two weeks, our firm has been publishing a tracker of ESG-related publications and developments, with a primary focus on developments that may be of most interest to or impact our clients, be they corporates, asset managers or asset owners.
Key updates covered in this edition include:
- the draft motion adopted by Members of the European Parliament on the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee and the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety Committee for a resolution objecting to the European Commission’s proposal to include specific nuclear and gas energy activities in the list of environmentally sustainable economic activities covered by the EU Taxonomy;
- the Spanish Government's allocation of funds to accelerate decarbonisation in the Canary and Balearic Islands; and
- the Spanish Congress has agreed to create the legal concept of Common Interest and Benefit Companies, which will help to identify companies that generate social and environmental benefit, as well as economic return.
If you have any ESG-related questions, please get in touch with your usual contact at HSF who will be able to direct you as appropriate.
