Sustainability data: A competitive edge for the EU

For this episode of Sustainability Bridges, special guest Nathalie Dogniez, Chair of Eurosif and independent director with more than 30 years’ experience within the financial sector, joins Pierre Garrault, Eurosif’s Senior Policy Adviser, to discuss the perspective of the financial industry on recent and future developments in EU sustainable finance.

As part of the episode, Nathalie gives her view on the European Commission’s proposed omnibus initiative, highlighting that while no regulation or standard is perfect on day one, adjustments and recalibrations should not come at the expense of the ambition of the EU sustainable finance framework. While the first year of reporting under new regulations is always challenging, applying these rules would ultimately facilitate reporting for European companies and provide investors with direct digital access to their financial and non-financial data, giving EU economic actors a significant competitive edge.
