What this bill does
In plain terms: what it changes and who it affects.
This proposal simplifies EU sustainable-finance disclosures and creates three categories for financial products making sustainability claims.
Who it affects
It affects investors in ESG or sustainability-linked financial products, and financial firms that manufacture, manage or market those products. It also affects providers of insurance-based, pension and PRIIP investment products.
Core of the proposal
- Creates transition, ESG basics and sustainable categories for products making sustainability-related claims.
- Requires at least 70% of investments to match the claimed category strategy.
- Restricts sustainability claims in names and marketing to categorised products, with limited exceptions.
- Removes entity-level principal adverse impact and remuneration-policy disclosure requirements.
Key provisions
- Takes effect
- The proposal states entry into force on the twentieth day after Official Journal publication; its main application date is not provided in the supplied text.
- Transitional law
- Insurance-based investment products, pension products, pension schemes and PEPPs apply the new rules 12 months after the Regulation’s application date.
