Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation RTS: Practical implications for firms

On 23 April 2020, the ESAs published a joint consultation paper proposing detailed Level 2 standards under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation. The consultation paper proposes detailed and extensive disclosure requirements on investment managers and financial advisers at (i) an entity level (including obligations to monitor, track and disclose against 32 mandatory principal adverse impacts); and (ii) product level, when marketing financial products with environmental or social characteristics and objectives.

In this webinar, the IA, in conjunction with Linklaters, will talk us through the rules being proposed by the ESAs, the practical implications and pressure points for firms as well as the steps that firms should be taking at this stage. We will also cover how these Level 2 standards will interact with the EU Taxonomy Regulation and provide an update on the UK’s implementation approach.
