UK ESG regulations: how to get ready for 2026

Everything you need for seamless regulatory reporting, all in one place.

UK rules are consolidating around the ISSB standards

Sustainability reporting in the UK is shifting with the arrival of the UK Sustainability Reporting Standards (UK SRS), expected in 2026. Alongside existing SECR requirements, these new standards will strengthen comparability and push companies to formalize credible transition plans.

Structured reporting and stricter ESG controls will become the norm. Organizations can prepare by aligning with ISSB standards, publishing robust transition plans, reinforcing governance, and ensuring their SECR disclosures are consistent and accurate.

CSRD remains the defining EU ESG standard

2025 brought challenges, amendments, and delays to the CSRD, and many companies saw their deadlines pushed back. But that’s no reason to slow down on non-financial data. If your organization falls under the CSRD, now is the moment to prepare.

Start your double materiality assessment, map your data owners and protocols, test your ESRS indicators, and get ready for assurance. The delays offer breathing room, not an exemption. Early action reduces costs, lowers risk, and makes your first reporting cycle far smoother.

Regulation in California is tightening

Reporting obligations under California’s SB 253 start in 2026, with impacts reaching far beyond the state. Companies nationwide will face pressure through customer requests and supplier requirements, along with rising expectations for data quality and assurance, first for Scopes 1–2, then Scope 3.

Litigation risks are also increasing. Inconsistent disclosures or weak methodologies, especially around Scope 3 and offsets, will face closer scrutiny. Rigorous preparation is now essential.
