Minutes

1. Welcome and apologies

The Chair welcomed all attendees to the June public meeting of the UK Sustainability Disclosure Technical Advisory Committee (TAC).

There were no apologies.

No interests were declared in agenda items.

2. June 2026 general reporting update

The TAC noted Agenda Paper 2, which provided updates since the May 2026 meeting.

3. Proposed amendments to SASB Standards – Phase 1 Part 2

The TAC discussed Agenda item 3, with the TAC's discussions focusing on the draft response to SASB/ED/2026/1. The discussions were structured into:

  • Industry specific discussions
  • General / non-industry specific discussions.

Industry specific discussions

Electric Utilities & Power Generators
  • The TAC reviewed and discussed this section and recommended some improvements, including: the removal of unnecessary elements; improved clarity on certain recommendations relating to capacity metrics, energy affordability, and the aggregation/disaggregation of indigenous peoples' disclosures; linking recommendations on proportionality provisions to SASB-wide proportionality mechanisms; and other general drafting improvements.
Agricultural Products
  • The TAC reviewed and discussed this section and recommended improvements in areas including: clarity on the recommendation for finalising the Food & Beverage sector standards; a stronger recommendation regarding 'sustainably managed land'; consideration of linkages to IFRS S1/S2 in the use of the term 'impacts'; and other general presentation and drafting enhancements.
Meat, Poultry & Dairy
  • The TAC reviewed and discussed this section and recommended some improvements, including the removal of certain elements, clearer recommendations on aquaculture, and linking the response on proportionality mechanisms to SASB-wide proportionality mechanisms in the general points.

General / non-industry specific discussions

The TAC shared the following comments:

  • The TAC suggested a number of drafting changes, including to a paragraph on restructuring the SASB Standards.
  • The TAC suggested a number of general points included in the responses to the industry specific questions were instead included in the responses to the general / non-industry specific questions.

The draft response to SASB/ED/2026/1 will be updated following the discussions in this meeting. The final response to SASB/ED/2026/1 will then be presented for approval at the TAC's July 2026 meeting, along with a draft Due Process Summary.

4. AOB

There was no other business.

The Chair thanked attendees and confirmed that the next TAC meeting is scheduled for 14 July 2026. The meeting concluded at 11:30am.
