What is the EU Sustainable Finance Package?
The EU Sustainable Finance package1 is one of the most ambitious legislative plans globally which aims to:
- Reorient capital flows towards sustainable investment in order to achieve sustainable and inclusive growth
- Manage financial risks stemming from climate change, resource depletion, environmental degradation and social issues
- Foster transparency and long-termism in financial and economic activity
Who does it impact?
- Investors (asset managers) operating in the European Union
