DUFAS response to revised ESRS consultation
As DUFAS we welcome the European Commission's proposed revision of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), which strike an appropriate balance between simplifying reporting requirements and preserving the core principle of double materiality. In particular, we strongly support the clarification that investments managed on behalf of clients are outside the scope of mandatory ESRS reporting. This clarification provides much-needed legal certainty for the asset management industry.
Response to EU consultation on the Climate Delegated Act.
We have submitted our response to the European Commission public consultation on the draft amendments to the Climate Delegated Act under the EU Taxonomy Regulation.
DUFAS calls for targeted improvements to SFDR to strengthen implementation and comparability
As DUFAS we welcome the European Commission's proposal to revise the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) as a significant and much-needed step forward for the EU sustainable finance framework. We reiterate our strong support for the SFDR and its core objectives of enhancing transparency, strengthening investor confidence, and supporting the transition to a more sustainable economy. The proposed shift toward a product-focused framework, combined with a simplification of entity-level requirements, marks an important improvement in making the regulation more practical and effective. At the same time, we recommend several targeted improvements to ensure that the revised framework is workable in practice, supports capital allocation to sustainable activities, and enhances comparability for investors. The DUFAS position statement, prepared by our SFDR Expert Group, contains several key recommendations, including:
