Sustainable Finance
The asset management industry plays a key role in meeting the objectives of the European Green Deal to make the EU’s economy sustainable. Our members integrate ESG considerations across their risk management processes and investment decisions. They develop sustainable investment products and foster transparency to fight greenwashing. This increases choice, trust and, in turn, retail investors’ participation. Overall, such efforts mobilise capital towards a fair and just transition to a climate-neutral economy by 2050.
EFAMA actively contributes to the development and implementation of EU’s sustainable finance initiatives. Among them are a comprehensive transparency framework for financial market participants, standards and labels for green financial products, classification of green economic activities and policies enhancing corporate sustainability reporting.

The European Commission has published a proposal for a Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), paving the way for much-needed mandatory European sustainability reporting standards (ESS). Insufficient availability of meaningful, comparable, reliable and public ESG data is a key impediment to realising the full potential of the EU's sustainable finance regulatory framework. EFAMA, therefore, encourages the co-legislators to maintain the ambition of this proposal.
