What happened?
TCC Group CEO Joe Norburn was featured in IT Supply Chain, discussing how the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is aligning its efforts to help consumers make more informed and sustainable financial decisions. The regulator is intensifying its focus on the quality and clarity of disclosures across all financial products.
Why does it matter?
As market demand grows for transparency around sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, firms must deliver unambiguous, highly accessible product disclosures. Aligning product materials with Consumer Duty expectations ensures customers are not misled and can choose products that truly fit their preferences.
