Since the 2015 global deal on limiting climate change was reached, Europe has set the pace in figuring out how to move the real economy towards net-zero emissions by 2050, including by beginning to define what a &#8221;green&#8221; investment looks like and by having companies disclose their environmental footprint.<\/p>\n<p>That regulatory backdrop had led to a sharp rise in new European financial products aligned with the bloc&#8217;s climate goals, which include a near-term aim to cut net emissions 55% by 2030. Faced with growing pressure from companies and some EU governments to help struggling industries, and in view of the rejection of climate change action by the United States under Donald Trump, the European Commission on Wednesday laid out plans to trim the reporting burden on firms. As well as slashing the number of companies having to report data, the EU executive proposed scaling back a landmark supply chain due diligence law and softened penalties for those that breach it.<\/p>\n<p>While supporters said the moves would allow firms to focus on actually cutting emissions rather than filling out paperwork, others said it would make it harder to compare the actions of companies. &#8221;By introducing broad exemptions and postponements, the proposal risks undermining critical sustainability objectives,&#8221; said Hyewon Kong, Sustainable Investment Director at investor Gresham House.<\/p>\n<p>As well as reducing the number of companies obliged to report emissions data under its Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive by more than 80% and delaying the reporting deadline for others, Brussels scrapped plans for sector-specific reporting standards. Ashley Hamilton Claxton, head of responsible investment at Royal London Asset Management, said she welcomed the move to simplify what had become a &#8221;complex regulatory environment&#8221;, but called the loss of sector-specific standards a &#8217;setback&#8217;. &#8221;This information is essential for&#8230; assessing the alignment of companies with the goals of the Paris Agreement,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/eu-green-finance-row-back-sets-climate-investment-challenge-2025-02-27\/\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/eu-green-finance-row-back-sets-climate-investment-challenge-2025-02-27\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/eu-green-finance-row-back-sets-climate-investment-challenge-2\/\">EU green finance row-back sets climate investment challenge<\/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":[575,18107],"class_list":["post-137956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-eu-green-finance"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137956","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=137956"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137956\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137956"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
