Investment Association agrees ESG definitions set

The Investment Association (IA) has announced the launch of an industry-wide responsible investment framework and supplementary definitions.  This initiative has been developed to assist in clarity and consistency when communicating with customers, and to thereby support the promotion and development of responsible investment in the UK.

The IA’s Final Report, which sets out the framework and definitions, also provides an overview of the industry-wide consultation that led to the framework, discussed outstanding questions on the disclosure of sustainability indicators and sets out next steps, including regarding a proposed UK retail product label.
