SFDR (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation)

Finance & Investment
The EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation requires financial market participants and advisers to disclose how they integrate sustainability risks and consider adverse sustainability impacts. Products are classified as Article 6 (no sustainability claims), Article 8 (promotes environmental/social characteristics), or Article 9 (has sustainable investment as its objective). SFDR drives demand for corporate ESG data and is a key component of the EU sustainable finance framework alongside the Taxonomy and CSRD.
