- In the recent report PwC-Report "EU Private Markets: ESG Reboot, 2021", it has been revealed that there is strong expected demand for sustainable investments to intensify as sustainability considerations become increasingly anchored within global corporate governance and as investors become increasingly aware of the key opportunities that stand to be unlocked.

The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) of the European Union came into force on March 10, 2021 in order to create transparency with regards to the inclusion of sustainability risks in the investment process and the consideration of adverse effects on sustainability factors in financial investment products.
What is SFDR?
- The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) imposes mandatory ESG disclosure obligations for asset managers and other financial markets participants with substantive provisions of the regulation effective from 10 March 2021. The SFDR was introduced by the European Commission alongside the Taxonomy Regulation and the Low Carbon Benchmarks Regulation as part of a package of legislative measures arising from the European Commission’s Action Plan on Sustainable Finance.

Source: Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on sustainability‐related disclosures in the financial services sector.
The SFDR aims to bring a level playing field for financial market participants (“FMP”) and financial advisers on transparency in relation to sustainability risks, the consideration of adverse sustainability impacts in their investment processes and the provision of sustainability related information with respect to financial products. The SFDR requires asset managers such as AIFMs and UCITS managers to provide prescript and standardised disclosures on how ESG factors are integrated at both an entity and product level. A significant portion of the SFDR applies to all asset managers, whether or not they have an express ESG or sustainability focus. *
