The ESG regulatory landscape is rapidly changing the way the financial industry operates. Since March 10 2021, the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) has set out the rules for financial market participants and financial advisers with regards to the integration of sustainability risks into their processes as well as the provision of sustainability-related information in financial products.
The regulation requires them to consider sustainability risks across various aspects of their operations including such as remuneration policies, risk policies, the investment process, product governance and wider internal processes and systems. The Taxonomy regulation defines whether an economic activity constitutes an environmentally sustainable activity.
