Together with 7 other NGOs, we have sent a letter to EU Commissioners calling on them to make stewardship requirements a core part of the upcoming review of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), the EU’s main tool to improve sustainability transparency in the financial sector.

While stewardship is already a widespread and expected practice among financial market participants, the current SFDR provisions do not fully harness its potential. The upcoming review presents a unique opportunity to establish a stronger and more consistent framework that ensures stewardship is genuinely impactful and that investors’ influence drives the EU’s sustainability transition.
