ESG Compliance & Measurement

The UK Sustainability Reporting Standards arrived in February 2025, and there is far more to them than a compliance obligation. In this episode, Alastair Loasby, Director of Sustainability and ESG at Saffery, explains what the standards require, what the transitional reliefs mean in practice, and why the businesses getting ahead of this are treating it as a strategic opportunity rather than a box-ticking exercise. We also cover measurement, the UK/EU regulatory divergence, nature disclosure, and greenhushing.    Alastair is Director of Sustainability and ESG at Saffery. He supports organisations to turn sustainability and responsible business into clear commercial value. He works with organisations at all stages of their journey, from those just getting started to those navigating complex regulatory and reporting requirements.
