The standards, developed under the EU Regulation on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector (SFDR), have been designed with several goals in mind, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Strengthening protection for end-investors;<\/li><li>Improving the disclosures to investors from a broad range of financial market participants and financial advisers; and<\/li><li>\u00a0Improving the disclosures to investors regarding financial products.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As demand for ESG-themed investment products increases, and pressure builds on issuers to operate their businesses sustainably, ESG disclosure has come under growing scrutiny, as disclosure requirements vary by region and tend to be less formalized than financial disclosures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lack of disclosure standards can make it difficult for market participants, investors, advisors and customers to determine the true sustainability profile of the companies and asset managers that they interact with. As investors demand more sustainable accountability from companies, regulators such as the ESAs, and other third party organizations, including the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) are developing more stringent disclosure standards and standardized metrics for companies to follow.<\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-463\" data-postid=\"463\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-463 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Europe\u2019s three primary financial regulatory agencies, the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs), announced today that they will organise a public hearing on proposed environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosure standards for financial market participants, advisers and products.
