The European Commission has proposed a major overhaul of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). This development, known as SFDR 2.0, marks a turning point in the regulation of sustainable finance in Europe.
After structuring ESG transparency since 2021, the current framework is now showing its limits: heterogeneous practices, complexity for investors, and rising criticism related to greenwashing.
With SFDR 2.0, the European Union is changing its approach. The aim is no longer just to provide a framework for transparency, but to clarify, harmonise and strengthen the credibility of sustainable financial products. The challenge is key: to move from declarative sustainability to demonstrable sustainability.
This position paper provides you with a clear and operational reading of the SFDR 2.0 reform and its concrete impacts. You will find:
- an analysis of the structural limits of SFDR 1.0
- Deciphering new sustainable product categories
- Insight into major regulatory changes
- an analysis of the operational impacts for financial institutions
- Keys to understanding how to transform regulatory constraints into strategic levers
For asset managers, banks and insurers, SFDR 2.0 involves much more than compliance. The reform leads to an overhaul of ESG methodologies, a transformation of data infrastructures, and increased operational pressure.
But it also opens up an opportunity for strategic differentiation. Players anticipating the reform can strengthen their positioning and capture investor confidence.
