The Financial Conduct Authority wants to support the financial sector in driving positive change on climate issues.

In a bid to clamp down on greenwashing, the Financial Conduct Authority has proposed a package of new measures.

These include investment product sustainability labels, and restrictions on how terms like ‘ESG’, ‘green’ or ‘sustainable’ can be used.

The measures are among several potential new rules which will protect consumers and improve trust in sustainable investment products.

But it also aims to force distributors to make sure labels and disclosures are clear and accessible.

So, are you ready to play your part towards achieving a green new world?

This report, which is worth an estimated 30 minutes of CPD, looks at what rule changes are coming advisers' way and what they can do now, to ensure they and their clients are prepared, and explore ways to diversify portfolios.

Please answer the below questions to bank your CPD.
