Description

WWF is commissioning a report to influence discussions ahead of COP26 on mandatory due diligence of the financial sector. The report will look at what model mandatory due diligence standard and framework for finance might look like, from both a corporate policy and a legal framework perspective. It will also assess existing best practices in the finance sector on corporate due diligence. This piece of work will lay the groundwork for our advocacy over the coming years and provide a foundation for discussions on how to reduce the UK's international climate and environmental footprint. It will result in a publication, targeted towards policymakers and private sector finance (i.e. banks and investors).
