Activities
Main EU Legislative Proposals: As part of our responsibility philosophy, we are not content to simply follow investment orthodoxies but instead look to highlight and constructively challenge areas where we believe we in the industry are failing in order to improve the contribution of the financial services industry to society. We do this because we believe that we in the finance industry are in a privileged position, but importantly, one in which we are acting as fiduciaries on behalf of others. As such it is incumbent upon to us ensure that the system in which we operate is working on behalf of those whom we serve. We seek progressive change in the capital markets.
The EU initiatives, policies and legislative files we currently focus on are regulation and initiatives relating to the Renewed Sustainable Finance Strategy, including Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, EU Taxonomy, green bonds standards, sustainable corporate governance, corporate reporting including the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, and climate goals, including sector-specific policy such as transport, renewable energy, energy efficiency and green buildings, UCITs, AIFMDs & MMFs.
