The Companies (Strategic Report) (Climate-related Financial Disclosure) Regulations 2022 came into force on 6 April 2022.

These regulations require a range of larger companies to undertake climate-related financial disclosures alongside their strategic reports for each financial year. Reporting duties are aligned to the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) standard.

Disclosures in line with the TCFD standard are required for any financial year that begins on or after 6 April 2022.

The Building Safety Act 2022 (Commencement No. 1, Transitional and Saving Provisions) Regulations 2022 will bring a range of sections of the Building Safety Act 2022 into force on various dates throughout 2022. 

These regulations aim to apply a more stringent building control regime for higher-risk buildings in England. Dutyholders will be required to manage these risks during design, construction and occupancy. A safety case will be required for these buildings, in order to prevent a major incident.
