UK SRS S2 for Asset Managers: Portfolio Boundaries, Financed Emissions and Client Data

An asset manager should separate the reporting entity from the client assets it manages, then define a controlled total-AUM denominator. UK SRS S2 B61 requires absolute gross financed emissions by Scope, the AUM included for each Scope, the percentage of total AUM covered, explanations of excluded asset types and AUM, and the allocation methodology.

Helps you decideHow to define total AUM and financed-emissions coverage while controlling products, mandates, data periods, estimates and client claims.

UK SRS S2 for Insurers: Underwriting, Investments and Climate Resilience

An insurer should assess climate resilience across both underwriting and investment portfolios, but it should not merge their emissions metrics. UK SRS S2 B63-B63A require financed emissions, gross exposure, coverage, classification and methodology for the insurer's loans and investments.

Helps you decideHow to connect two portfolios in the resilience assessment while keeping financed emissions, insurance-associated emissions and other metrics distinct.

UK SRS S2 Scope 3 Category 15: Investments, Exclusions and the 2025 Amendments

UK SRS S2 still requires visibility over Scope 3 categories and, when Category 15 is included, the Category 15 total and the financed-emissions subtotal. Paragraph 29A permits an entity to limit Category 15 to financed emissions attributed to loans, investments, undrawn commitments and AUM, and to exclude emissions attributable to derivatives.

Helps you decideWhether to measure a wider Category 15 population or apply the permitted limitation to financed emissions, and how to explain that boundary.

UK SRS S2 Reporting Entity and GHG Boundary: Groups, JVs, Leases and Value Chains

UK SRS S1 requires sustainability-related financial disclosures to cover the same reporting entity as the related financial statements. UK SRS S2 then requires the entity to measure and explain its GHG emissions using the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard unless a jurisdictional authority or exchange requires another method.

Helps you decideHow each legal entity, facility, investee, lease and value-chain category is treated in the reporting entity and in Scope 1, Scope 2 or Scope 3.

How an LRA guide is built

Every answer follows the same discipline.

You should be able to stop reading after the first paragraph and still have what you came for. Everything below it exists so you can defend the answer to a reviewer.

  1. 01
    Answer

    The question is stated as a reporting team would ask it, and settled in the opening lines.

  2. 02
    Basis

    The official source and edition are named, and kept clearly apart from our reading of them.

  3. 03
    Judgement

    The points the standard leaves open are marked, with what a defensible position looks like.

  4. 04
    Action

    The answer links to the disclosures and evidence it affects, so a decision turns into fields to fill.

  • Practitioner-written, then technically reviewed
  • A named reviewer, with a date
  • Requirements kept separate from practice and interpretation
  • Stated update triggers for re-reading each answer

Coverage

Which frameworks have answers yet.

The guides tier is written framework by framework rather than thinly across all of them, so this says where the writing has actually reached. Disclosure cards, which cover the requirements themselves, run ahead of it.

Found the answer?

Turn the decision into a disclosure.

An answer settles what to do. The disclosure card is where it becomes data to collect, owners to name, evidence to retain and wording to draft — and when the whole reporting cycle is the problem, the programme walks it with a mentor on your own data.

Available as Guided Flex, Live Cohort, 1:1 Expert Mentorship or Corporate Programme.
