The &#8221;Transition&#8221; category would provide scope for investing in companies which are not green yet based on their capital expenditure or transition plans, but which should become so; and &#8221;ESG collection&#8221;, a category of funds which select or exclude certain sectors based on their performance on Environmental, Social and Governance-related factors, the proposal said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;For retail investors we saw the sustainability preferences were not going in the right direction. Categories should facilitate a common understanding of the type of sustainable products supported by one set of disclosure requirements where exact details depend on each category,&#8221; said Julia Backmann, head of EU business legal at AllianzGI and Rapporteur of the report. Backmann said the proposed rules would help clamp down on &#8221;greenwashing&#8221;, or misleading marketing, by setting clear requirements and safeguards and ensuring these are communicated to the end investor in a simple manner.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/sustainability\/sustainable-finance-reporting\/eu-advisers-pitch-overhaul-sustainable-finance-fund-rules-2024-12-17\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/eu-advisers-pitch-overhaul-of-sustainable-finance-fund-rules\/\">EU advisers pitch overhaul of sustainable finance fund rules<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,274,17356],"class_list":["post-136104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-eu","tag-sustainable-finance-fund-rules"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136104"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136104\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
