ESG & the Fundamentals of the EU Sustainable Finance Framework

Introduction

The package of EU sustainable finance regulations seeks to integrate ESG considerations into the investment and advisory process in a consistent manner across sectors.

The package consists of the Disclosure Regulation ((EU) 2019/2088) (also known as the SFDR), Taxonomy Regulation ((EU) 2020/852) as well as the Low Carbon Benchmarks Regulation ((EU) 2019/2089).

Understanding related requirements is not only essential for financial advisers but also for companies who want to maximise their eligibility for investment and funding. This virtual classroom session will provide you with the fundamentals of this framework.
