Sacha Sustainability Actions

Oversaw ESG at the FCA

Sacha Sadan is the Director of ESG at the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) where he oversees ESG across the wide spectrum of regulatory activities and reports to the CEO.

Led SDR anti-greenwashing work

The FCA’s new SDR framework focuses on rebuilding trust with the concern that greenwashing may have already eroded credibility in sustainable investing through five key areas, sustainable investment labels, consumer-facing disclosures, naming and marketing rules, requirements for distributors, and a general anti-greenwashing rule.

Worked on investment stewardship

Prior to the FCA, Sacha was Director of Investment Stewardship and on the board at Legal and General Investment Management where he had responsibility for investment stewardship, collaborating with other investors, governments and regulators.

Encouraged shareholder collaboration

Drawing together my contact book from a background in risk and fund management, I encouraged shareholder collaboration to influence companies. This led to the Financial Times crediting me as being one of the leading architects of the Shareholder Spring in 2012.

Sought better accounting standards

At an academic talk and Q&A, Sacha Sadan was due to talk about recent developments in this area and how current proposals for new accounting standards could help reduce sustainability risks.
