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.
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.
