Trusted by Leading Financial Institutions

SFDR Offers Flexibility. Execution Requires Precision.

SFDR requires firms to determine which products qualify as sustainable but it leaves the definition wide open. Article 2(17) gives market participants room to decide what “sustainable investment” means, but without clear guidance, firms face inconsistent interpretations, regulatory risk, and confusion. Add spotty ESG data and evolving RTS requirements, and credibility becomes hard to prove. Let alone scale.

We ensure fast onboarding, intuitive adoption, and enterprise-grade security from day one.

  • What data does Clarity AI use for SFDR assessments?

    Clarity AI provides coverage of 65,000+ companies across fixed income, equities, funds, and sustainable bonds. Every reported data point is fully traceable to its original source, while estimated values come with clear documentation and methodology. This ensures the transparency, consistency, and audit-readiness required for Article 8 and 9 product classifications.

  • Does your SFDR solution include EET data?

    Clarity AI provides EET data for clients who prefer it for oversight, fund comparisons, or internal monitoring. However, we recommend using it only for those purposes not for regulatory disclosures. For formal SFDR reporting, we offer a traceable, methodology-driven dataset that meets audit and compliance standards.
