Sustainable Finance Disclosures Regulation (SFDR)

Context

                                    The European Union has launched an ambitious Sustainable Action Plan in order to support the delivery of the objectives of the European Green Deal. They will do this by channelling private investment into the transition to a climate-neutral, climate-resilient, resource-efficient and just economy. 
                

As part of this action plan, the Sustainable Finance Disclosures Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (SFDR), which sets out sustainability-related disclosure requirements for the financial services sector, was enacted in November 2019, and applicable from 10 March 2021. It aims at improving sustainability-related disclosures and comparability of the disclosures for end-investors, and to reduce the occurrence of greenwashing.
