Chapter Chapter 10 in Information as a Driver of Sustainable Finance, 2022, pp 267-321 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The information needs of retail investors can be posited as the ultimate driver of the transparency measures put in place by the EU Action Plan on Sustainable Finance. As stated on the launch of the plan in 2018, “EU citizens expect sustainable funds to enable them to have a positive impact on the economy; but they lack the concrete tools to identify corresponding investment products”. A review of the main regulatory tools developed by the Commission to address gaps in the sustainability information available to retail investors, this chapter assesses the completeness and usefulness of the solutions that were eventually delivered—from ESG and Taxonomy product disclosures to the EU Green Bond Standard.
