As a reference player in Europe and a leader in sustainability practices, our client was seeking a solution to facilitate and ensure complete compliance with both regulations. For SFDR, the key deliverable was to report on the Principal Adverse Impact indicators of funds, and included a set of mandatory sustainability indicators as well as several voluntary indicators.

Sustainability data is still fragmented, non-standardized and unreliable, and there are often conflicting data points for the same metric, depending on the provider or source. Our client needed a partner to provide data of the highest quality with extremely broad coverage to meet their position in the market as a leader in sustainable investing.

For the EU Taxonomy, the desired solution would need to offer the greatest accuracy and granularity, as well as an expert-level understanding of the intricacies of the regulation — the complexity of which can be quite confusing and therefore, easily produce misleading and inaccurate analysis and reporting.
