EU policy reforms

The European Union has made meaningful progress in recent years, introducing rules to push the financial sector to reorient its investments and support transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient, and socially sustainable economy. However, the financial system is still not shifting fast enough to meet the scale of the environmental and social challenges we face today.

Pressures focusing on short term gain, including from the financial sector, continue to shape corporate behaviour. While some progress has been made in incorporating sustainability into investment decisions, long-term environmental and social considerations are still not given sufficient weight. Further action is needed to ensure that capital is shifted in a way that truly supports the planet and its people.

Based in Brussels, our EU team aims to bring our distinctive perspective and expertise to the European debate. We bring the investor-angle and in-depth research to the EU's sustainable finance agenda, and have a track record of driving up the ambition of the EU Commission's key initiatives.
