Britain's business ministry said on Wednesday that company disclosures on climate change will be based on internationally-approved standards as it seeks to maintain London's attractiveness as a global financial centre.

regulators have given their formal backing to the International Sustainability Standards Board standards Britain says it will follow.

"UK-endorsed standards will only divert from the global baseline if absolutely necessary for UK specific matters," the ministry said in a statement. It said Britain aims to have its version of the global standards ready for use by July 2024. Using ISSB norms would make UK company disclosures comparable for investors globally, the ministry said.
