In this podcast episode, Rosl Veltmeijer discusses how to improve the SFDR with Zoë du Chattel, Senior Supervision Officer at AFM and Hadewych Kuiper, Managing Director at Triodos Investment Management.
Since its implementation in 2021, there has been criticism on the effect of the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). In 2023, the European Commission therefor initiated a consultation on the SFDR.
Both the Dutch financial market authority AFM and Triodos IM published a position paper on how to improve the SFDR. Rosl Veltmeijer discusses the overlap and the differences between the two positions with Zoë du Chattel, Senior Supervision Officer at AFM and Hadewych Kuiper, Managing Director at Triodos Investment Management.
An important conclusion is that both the AFM and Triodos IM are in favour of a minimum level of disclosure for all funds to create a level-playing field. Both also propose to convert the current transparency regime into a labelling regime so retail investors can easily compare products and see which is the more sustainable.
