On 15 October 2021, ANEC hosted a wide-ranging webinar on sustainable finance and standardization.
In the first part of the webinar, ANEC presented a short module, ‘For beginners: a crash course on sustainable finance’, and gave an overview on the relevant standardization work, notably the activities of ISO/TC 322 ‘Sustainable Finance’.
BEUC – the mainstream European consumer organisation then presented the EU taxonomy for climate change mitigation and adaptation, and an update on work on social taxonomy. The presentation also encompassed the Impact of Renewable Energy Directive on taxonomy, and the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).
Last but not least, BEUC also reviewed the EU Ecolabel for Retail Financial Products, focusing on the link between the EU Ecolabel and taxonomy.
The presentations were followed by Q&As, which turned into a lively discussion, followed by closing remarks from ANEC.
