These Regulations apply to LLPs, with appropriate modifications, the amendments which were made to sections 414C, 414CA and 414 CB of the Companies Act 2006 (the “2006 Act”) by the Companies (Strategic Report) (Climate-related Financial Disclosure) Regulations 2022 S.I. 2022/31 .

Regulation 2 amends regulation 12A of the Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008 (the “2008 Regulations”) which applies sections 414A, 414B and 474 of the 2006 Act to LLPs with modifications. In addition, regulation 2 requires the members of a traded or banking LLP, in either case with more than 500 employees, to include climate-related financial information in the strategic reports.

Regulation 3 amends regulation 32 to amend the definition of “traded LLP” in the modified section 474 (Minor definitions).

Regulation 4 amends regulation 12B of the 2008 Regulations, which applies sections 415, 415A, 416 and 419 of the 2006 Act to LLPs with modifications, to add a new section 416A.
