London Stock Exchange

The Listing Rules are regulations which apply to all companies with a Main Market listing - or seeking a Main Market listing - on the London Stock Exchange.

The Listing Rules are not mandatory for Alternative Investment Market (AIM) companies.

However, some AIM-listed companies, and other companies, choose to follow the Listing Rules on a voluntary basis.


The Listing Rules are published by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority.


Climate risk disclosures
"The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) implemented a new Listing Rule applicable to premium listed commercial companies designed to help users understand how they are managing climate-related risks.
The new Rule (LR 9.8.6(8)) does this by requiring disclosures in annual reports consistent with the recommendations and recommended disclosures of the Task Force on Climate-related Disclosures (TCFD).
The Rule will apply to accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021 with the first annual financial reports under the new rule published in the spring of 2022."
