Sustainable Finance Management

Compact Seminar: EU-Regulations

With the publication of the EU Action Plan on Financing Sustainable Growth (2018), three key objectives are defined to achieve the measures from the Green Deal (2019) to decarbonize the European economy by 2050:

  • Redirect capital flows to sustainable investments
  • Integrate sustainability risks into the economic perspective
  • Promote transparency and long-termism in financial and economic activity

These objectives are specified on the basis of a 10-point catalog of measures. The EU action plan thus forms the core of the green transformation in Europe and is also the starting point for numerous EU regulations, in particular the Taxonomy Regulation and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

Even if only the financial sector and large companies are initially covered by the regulatory requirements, most small and medium-sized enterprises will gradually be directly or indirectly affected. The CSRD must be applied for the first time in the 2024 financial year by all companies that are already subject to the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD).
