This report is the first in a series of CUBE’s Data Reports, which leverage their proprietary inventory of standardised regulatory data to draw meaningful insights from global regulatory activity. The data, which comes from CUBE’s RegPlatform product, explores 116,325 data points from global regulators and issuing bodies over the last 10 years.
CUBE was keen to explore a topic of regulation that remains relatively ethereal; environmental, social and governance (ESG). ESG action within financial regulation is as much a source of myth and legend as it is of regulatory issuances.
ESG is a broad topic with parameters that are yet to be fully defined. As such, this report focuses on the first pillar of ESG, the ‘E’ – Environment. In particular, it explores the frequency of reference of a number of climate-related concepts, including climate-change risk, climate disclosures, SFDR and the TCFD, among others.
The report explores the references to these concepts from regulatory issuers on a global scale, with a view to understanding what topics issuing bodies are focused on, how they have evolved, and how they are prioritising them.
