Supporting Our Clients to Align and Comply
New ESG rules are on the horizon as the European Union aims to steer capital flows toward sustainable growth.1 The EU’s plan, which includes the new Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), requires certain financial market players serving EU investors to consider ESG risks and make ESG disclosures at the organization and financial product level. Large financial firms with over 500 employees who do business in the EU must start calculating metrics for the reference period January 2022 to December 2022, with the first regulatory report due by June 2023. The data and information requirements to comply with the new regulations may be significant. Institutional investors must report on all their portfolios and the holdings within those portfolios across multiple asset classes annually.
MSCI offers a sophisticated suite of data sets, indexes, reporting tools and portfolio analytics to support clients seeking to meet regulatory deadlines, integrate ESG factors across the investment process and report on progress along the way. We provide metrics and tools at the issuer and index level as well as through our risk analytics platform.
