Well prepared for the Disclosure Regulation

Since March 2021, financial market participants and financial advisers have been obligated by the new Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) to provide pre-contractual information and ongoing disclosures in regular reports and on websites to end investors.

The new information requirements encompass sustainability risks, potential adverse effects on sustainability, and environmental and social aspects. In addition, from January 2023 onward, the requirements of the Delegate Regulation (EU) 2022/1288 (Regulatory Technical Standards, RTS for short) must be met and all six environmental objectives of the EU taxonomy must be taken into account when disclosing sustainability information.

Here you will find an overview of all the relevant basic information on the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation.
