The EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) has had a huge impact on the responsible investment industry since it came into force in March 2021. This page features the latest news and analysis on the framework, how investors are navigating the world of Article 8, Article 9 and Principal Adverse Impact (PAI) disclosures, and how the rules could – potentially – see a major reform in the next few years.
