Episode Details

We’ve released updated guidance to help issuers clearly and accurately disclose sustainability‑related characteristics of financial products.

As products are increasingly marketed as ethical, sustainable, ESG or green, good disclosure matters. 

Our updated Sustainability‑related disclosure guidance:

✔ explains how existing fair‑dealing and disclosure obligations apply
 ✔ outlines what good practice looks like
 ✔ is built around four core principles — clarity, substantiation, consistency and effective management of third‑party involvement
 ✔ brings earlier guidance together in one place

Listen to the latest 5 Minutes with the FMA podcast to hear Acting Head of Specialist Supervision, Marcus McMillan, talk through what’s changed and why it matters.
