Public consultation on long-term and sustainable investment

Bonjour à toutes et à tous, l’Union européenne vient de lancer une consultation intéressante : « Public consultation on long-term and sustainable investment ».

Fostering growth and investment is one of European Commission’s top priorities.

To maintain and extend its competitiveness, Europe needs significant new long-term and sustainable investment. These can also help achieve the EU’s policy objectives linked to the transition to low carbon and climate resilient economy and promote environmentally and socially sustainable wealth creation, including respect for fundamental rights.

The Communication on Long-Term Financing of the European Economy emphasized the importance of environmental, social, governance issues for the longer-term sustainable performance of companies and investors. The Action Plan on building a Capital Markets Union also reiterates the importance of ESG investments.

This consultation seeks to gather information on how institutional investors, asset managers and other service providers in the investment chain factor in sustainability (ESG) information and performance of companies or assets into investment decisions. The consultation will also gather information about possible obstacles to long-term, sustainable investment.

The results of this consultation will be used by the Commission to assess the state of play in this field. A feedback document outlining the overall results of the consultation will be made public.

Vous avez jusqu’au 25 mars 2016 pour répondre.
