Out of the eight thematic ETFs worldwide that specifically track agriculture, only one has an ESG tilt, according to research by Morningstar.

TPR climate strategy targets trustee regulatory compliance
Jones: Trustees should note the emphasis on stewardship .
Guidance to help trustees comply with climate disclosure rules will also call on them to “act now” to protect pension savers from climate risk, The Pensions Regulator (TPR) says.
In its climate strategy for 2021-2024 - published today (7 April) - the regulator stressed the importance of schemes understanding of their compliance obligations in relation to climate risks.
The climate strategy looks at the context around the new legislation, including the aims of the Pension Schemes Act, and the government s push toward a net-zero economy. It also outlines the regulator s aims and approaches to new legislation, its own regulatory approach and work on climate change, and summarises broader views on the transition to a low-carbon economy and the pension industry s role within it.
