Slaughter and May is advising the Secretariat to UK's Transition Plan Taskforce (TPT) in relation to the TPT's Transition Plan Disclosure Framework and Sector Guidance.
The TPT was launched by HM Treasury in April 2022 to develop the gold standard for private sector climate transition plans and includes expert representatives from businesses, financial institutions, regulators, policymakers, civil society, and academia. The TPT’s Transition Plan Disclosure Framework was launched on 9 October 2023, and the more detailed Sector Guidance for a number of sectors, including financial institutions, asset owners and asset managers, was published for consultation on 13 November 2023.
Slaughter and May, in collaboration with Clifford Chance LLP and Linklaters LLP, advised the Secretariat on various issues during the development of the framework, including legal issues raised during the consultation stage, and undertook a legal review of the detailed sector guidance for banks, asset owners and asset managers.
