KEY ESG is delighted to host Sarah-Jane Denton, Director, and Simon Witney, Senior Consultant at Travers Smith for an expert guide to the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) on the 29th April at 2pm GMT.
There will be time at the end for Q&A so bring your questions.
Sarah-Jane has many years of experience advising on a broad range of environmental topics both in support of transactions and in a compliance context. In recent years, she has particularly focused on advising both corporates and financial sector firms including a number of asset manager clients on UK and EU ESG regulation, having particular expertise in climate and sustainability reporting regimes and their impacts on UK and international businesses. Her practice extends to corporate governance, human rights, supply chain risk and related social issues under the ESG umbrella.
Sarah-Jane also has expertise in the more traditional environmental sphere including consenting, contamination, chemicals, health & safety and product regulation. In addition, Sarah-Jane has worked extensively on energy and infrastructure matters, for both renewable and innovative energy solutions providers and traditional, highly regulated utilities.
Simon is a senior consultant and chairs Travers Smith’s ESG and Impact Group. Simon has particular expertise in sustainable finance and corporate governance, especially in the private markets.
Throughout his career Simon has been a prolific writer and regular speaker on company law and corporate governance and over the last 25 years or so he has advised private equity and venture capital, as well as the UK Government, on a wide range of fund and transactional matters. He has a market-leading reputation in the private equity sector with both Real Deals magazine and Private Equity International magazine having named Simon amongst the most influential figures in private equity.
Simon has previously been a member of the BVCA Council, was chair of the BVCA’s Legal and Accounting Committee between 2010 and 2016, and has also chaired Invest Europe’s Tax, Legal and Regulatory Committee. He is now a member of the BVCA's Accounting, Reporting and Governance Committee, the Policy Committee of UKSIF (the UK Sustainable Investment and Finance Association) and the ESG Committee of the City of London Law Society (CLLS).
In addition, Simon is a Senior Fellow and Visiting Professor in Practice in the Law School at the London School of Economics and Political Science, where he also teaches on the LLM programme. Simon's book, Corporate Governance and Responsible Investment in Private Equity, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2021.
