Modernising Corporate Reporting: The government's “once-in-a-generation" review

5 October 2026

4 min read

impact

On 7 September, the government opened its Modernising Corporate Reporting (MCR) consultation, a wholesale review of the UK's corporate reporting framework. The proposals cover financial and narrative reporting, corporate governance, remuneration and digital communications, and an update on sustainability disclosures, together amounting to a significant rethinking of the corporate reporting in the UK. techUK's initial view is broadly supportive, and we believe the proposals could particularly benefit SMEs. The consultation runs for 12 weeks and closes on 30 November 2026. We will be responding and engaging directly with government, please see below for information on how to get involved.

From emissions to innovation: building the sustainable airport of tomorrow

6 August 2026

6 min read

impact

Airports face growing pressure to address sustainability challenges, driven by burgeoning environmental regulation, public scrutiny and health-related concerns. A key pillar of airport sustainability – as defined both by international policy and local strategies – is the reduction of both CO₂ emissions and harmful substances such as nitrogen oxide (NOx) and ultrafine particles (UFPs). These all result from aircraft engines and diesel-powered ground service equipment (GSE). Reducing CO₂ directly supports global climate goals, as outlined in the Paris Agreement and lowering other emissions is crucial for improving air quality and protecting the health of airport workers and local communities. Multiple studies have shown that exposure to air pollution near airports can increase health risks, including respiratory and cardiovascular issues.
