The ESG regulatory landscape is rapidly changing the way the financial industry operates. Introduced on the 10th March 2021, the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) requires financial market participants and financial advisers to incorporate sustainability risks across various aspects of their operations. This includes making disclosures on how sustainability risks are integrated into policies such as remuneration policies, risk policies, the investment process, product governance and wider internal processes and systems. The EU Taxonomy regulation defines whether an economic activity constitutes an environmentally sustainable activity, which helps asset managers ensure they are anti-greenwashing.
Assessing your ability to integrate sustainability issues into your investing criteria may seem taxing and overwhelming but we have created a tailored service to collect, evaluate and report ESG data. Our latest product offering, Invest Check, provides your ESG data in a report aligned to the SFDR template, streamlining the submission process for you.
Invest Check helps you to assess your sustainability strategy, track performance and identify key gaps against an ESG data set based on all of the key regulations and industry standards such as EU SFDR, TCFD, UNPRI, ESG Taxonomy and more.
Invest Check’s online questionnaire is easy and intuitive, allowing you to save progress as you enter data and return at any point to update data. We manage the end to end streamlined process to make it fast, relevant and accurate – alleviating stress and allowing you to focus on what you do best.
