On June 23, ISDA and the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME) published a position paper on the review of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). The paper acknowledges that the SFDR needs to be revised in line with the objectives of the sustainability omnibus to streamline the EU sustainable finance framework and address the implementation challenges experienced by market participants, and sets out several priorities:
- Streamline disclosure requirements to focus on information most essential for investors;
- Transition to a product categorization system while minimizing market disruption;
- Maximize consistency and alignment with other regulations;
- Ensure a consistent regulatory treatment of derivatives across the various sustainability metrics; and
- Consider how the SFDR could take structured products into account.
