Sustainability practitioners will be well aware that ESG is a fast-moving, and ever changing area, making keeping on top of horizon scanning a significant challenge.
In this timeline, up-to-date as of early September 2026, we have set out key ESG developments in the UK and EU in 2026 to assist with horizon scanning, as well as those that are expected to take place later this year. Sign up to our Sustainable Matters blog and Horizon Scanning programme of short articles and podcast episodes for more detailed updates throughout the year.
Please note that this timeline is a summary and is necessarily not comprehensive. Please speak to your usual contact at Slaughter and May for more information on ESG horizon scanning, including information tailored to your business and/or sector.
