Europe’s Sustainable Finance Framework (Taxonomy, SFDR, CSRD)
Europe’s Sustainable Finance Framework (Taxonomy, SFDR, CSRD)
Context
To support the green transition, the EU has developed an ambitious sustainable finance regulatory framework, including the Taxonomy, SFDR, CSRD, labels and related standards, aimed at improving transparency, directing capital towards sustainable activities and reducing greenwashing risks. While this framework provides a robust foundation, its growing complexity and uneven implementation raise concerns about usability, proportionality and effectiveness, particularly for smaller corporates.
Simplification, greater coherence and improved data usability have become key priorities to ensure that regulation effectively supports investment decisions,
reduces unnecessary administrative burdens and delivers its intended impact. Making the sustainable finance framework clearer and more operational is therefore critical to enable markets to contribute fully to the green transition.
