Enhancing the EU Sustainable Finance Framework
Our members are driving the EU’s sustainability goals through impactful investments, issuing over €120 billion in green and social bonds (2020-2023). To strengthen this progress, we urge the next Financial Services Commissioner to:
✅Streamline sustainable finance regulations
✅Prevent greenwashing
✅Reduce administrative burdens
✅Improve data collection
These steps will reinforce market confidence and support social projects, SMEs, and climate adaptation.
