About

Who we are

The Policy Liaison Group on ESG convenes diverse stakeholders on a range of themes related to sustainability and non-financial reporting to forge informed, cross-party consensus on how to drive the transition to a more sustainable economy. Our work aligns with the government’s priorities to position the UK as a leader in green finance, transition planning, and clean energy, helping build resilience and competitiveness across the UK economy.

What does the Policy Liaison Group on ESG do?

Through regular roundtables, consultations and reports, the Policy Liaison Group on ESG helps familiarise parliamentarians with ESG frameworks, metrics, and key principles while building consensus across a wide variety of policy areas, from modern slavery to net zero.

Engagement with diverse stakeholders raises awareness of common challenges facing industry and investment in the collective drive to make the UK economy more environmentally sustainable and socially responsible.

The Group actively engages across all three pillars of ESG, addressing key challenges and objectives, such as combating greenwashing and advancing a just transition, enabling meaningful dialogue with policy leaders.

We champion sustainable finance, one of the UK government’s five critical growth missions for the financial sector, while paying close attention to how businesses in the real economy can develop more robust sustainability strategies and effective ESG reporting processes. The Group consequently plays an important role in supporting the UK’s net zero objectives, lowering barriers to opportunity, enhancing corporate accountability, unlocking investment, and crucially, improving conditions for growth.

The Group invites advisory board involvement, speaking contributions, report collaboration through to ongoing policy discussions via our regular roundtable events.
