Post-Brexit, the UK is building an independent sustainability framework — UK SDS, a Green Taxonomy, its own CBAM, and the FCA's anti-greenwashing rule. Different timelines, different thresholds, different enforcement. Taza maps the landscape.
Companies operating across both markets now face two distinct compliance regimes. Understanding the gaps between them is no longer optional.
The UK's post-Brexit regulatory framework is diverging from the EU — with its own timelines, thresholds, and enforcement mechanisms.
The UK's answer to CSRD. Based on ISSB standards (IFRS S1 and S2), UK SDS will require climate and sustainability-related financial disclosures for UK-listed companies and large private firms.
Expected: 2026–2027A UK-specific classification system for environmentally sustainable economic activities. Aligned with but distinct from the EU Taxonomy — different thresholds, different sector coverage, different technical screening criteria.
Consultation ongoingThe UK's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism will apply a carbon price to imports of carbon-intensive goods. Covers aluminium, cement, ceramics, fertiliser, glass, hydrogen, iron, and steel.
Effective: January 2027The TPT framework sets the gold standard for credible corporate transition plans. Disclosure of transition plans is expected to become mandatory for large UK companies and financial institutions.
Framework finalised 2023The Financial Conduct Authority's rule requires all FCA-authorised firms to ensure sustainability claims are fair, clear, and not misleading. Applies to all communications — not just financial products.
Live: May 2024UK and EU frameworks are diverging — same goals, different rules. One-size-fits-all compliance no longer works.
Carbon-intensive importers into the UK face a separate carbon pricing mechanism from the EU's CBAM.
Already enforceable. Every sustainability claim from FCA-authorised firms must be substantiated.
UK SDS builds on ISSB standards, not ESRS — meaning different metrics, materiality approaches, and disclosures than CSRD.
