In response to the evolving sustainable finance landscape, the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies (EFFAS) is pleased to launch the periodic ESG Position Notes. This initiative addresses the need for clear guidance amidst the rapid changes and challenges in regulations aimed at fostering a sustainable economy. Key regulations like European Taxonomy for sustainable activities, Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) are central to Europe’s sustainability agenda, yet their complexity poses challenges for professionals in the financial sector. The EFFAS ESG Position Notes aim to clarify these regulations, making them more accessible for financial analysts and practitioners. By drawing out the strengths and weaknesses of regulatory details and linking them to practical financial analysis and decision-making, these notes support the industry’s evolution towards sustainable investment.
