New sustainable finance guidance supports clarity and proportionality

Our sustainable finance guidance note, published today, will support firms in meeting their obligations under the codes of practice in relation to sustainability-related risks and sustainability-related claims.  

The guidance sets a clear and consistent baseline on:  

• identifying, assessing and managing sustainability related risks, with a particular focus on climate change risks 
• ensuring that sustainability-related claims are fair, clear and not misleading 

This work supports Jersey’s position as a well-regulated, internationally recognised finance centre and reflects our commitment to proportionate, risk-based regulation.  

Next steps  

This guidance applies to all registered persons governed by the codes of practice. The full guidance note is available on our website.

We encourage all firms to review the guidance and consider any updates required to their policies, processes and governance arrangements.  

This guidance, together with the change related to Principle 7 in the codes of practice, will take effect in Q1 2027, giving firms a sufficient transition period to prepare.
