UK FCA SDR First Ongoing Product-Level Disclosures Become Required

On June 30, 2025, the first ongoing product-level disclosures became required under the UK FCA’s Sustainability Disclosure Requirements regime, including Part B reports. This milestone marked the operational implementation of the comprehensive SDR framework that includes anti-greenwashing rules, four sustainable investment labels, consumer-facing disclosures, and detailed institutional disclosures. The regime requires firms to ensure sustainability claims are fair, clear, and not misleading, and establishes requirements for distributors to ensure product-level information reaches consumers. This builds upon existing TCFD requirements and supports the UK’s sustainable investing roadmap. ( FCA )
