Hudson Sustainable Group (HSG) has announced the sale of its solar PV portfolio in Japan to Solar Schumann, demonstrating its expertise in assembling high-quality renewable energy assets and commitment to advancing sustainable energy initiatives. This transaction marks HSG’s second successful exit in Japan, allowing them to further expand their capital-light renewable energy company, Horizon Energy KK.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is proposing to extend its sustainability rules to a wider range of investment products, including those managed by portfolio managers. This move is aimed at combating greenwashing, where companies make misleading claims about the environmental or social impact of their products or services. The FCA has already implemented an anti-greenwashing rule for retail investors, which requires firms to ensure that their claims are fair, clear, and not misleading. The new proposals would extend these requirements to a wider range of products, including those managed by portfolio managers.
