Commission legislative proposals on sustainable finance

La Commission européenne a fait plusieurs propositions législatives sur la finance durable en mai 2018 : « Commission legislative proposals on sustainable finance ».

In May 2018 the Commission presented a package of measures as a follow-up to its action plan on financing sustainable growth. The package includes 3 proposals aimed at:

• establishing a unified EU classification system of sustainable economic activities (‘taxonomy’)
• improving disclosure requirements on how institutional investors integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in their risk processes
• creating a new category of benchmarks which will help investors compare the carbon footprint of their investments.

In addition, the Commission is, from 24 May to 21 June 2018, seeking feedback on amendments to delegated acts under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) and the Insurance Distribution Directive to include ESG considerations into the advice that investment firms and insurance distributors offer to individual clients.

À la prochaine…
