Timeline of ESG Developments in 2025

Sustainability practitioners will be well aware that ESG is a fast-moving, and ever changing area, making keeping on top of developments a significant challenge. We have sought to set out key ESG developments expected in 2025, covering the UK and, at a high level, the EU, to support with horizon scanning efforts.

Please refer to our timeline and webpage, accurate as of January 2025, where we outline some of the key dates to look out for. Although many dates are provisional, the timeline will be updated on a quarterly basis to keep you informed of future developments. The drop-down boxes on the webpage contain a list of additional developments that are expected to occur at some point during 2025, and for which we do not yet have a set date. Throughout the year, we will also continue to publish timely updates through our Sustainable Matters blog and Horizon Scanning programme of short articles and podcast episodes.
