The European Union (Disclosure of non-financial and diversity information by certain large undertakings and groups) Regulations 2017 (S.I. no. 360 of 2017) were signed into law on 30 July 2017. These Regulations transpose into national legislation Directive 2014/95/EU as regards disclosure of non-financial and diversity information by certain large undertakings and groups. The Regulations came into operation on 21 August 2017 and apply to financial years beginning on or after 1 August 2017.

My Department conducted a public consultation on the transposition of Directive 2014/95/EU in April 2015. The submissions received on foot of that consultation are published on the Department’s website.
