Eurosif response to SFDR Call for Evidence

28 May 2025

On 2 May, the European Commission launched a Call for Evidence on the review of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). This is the final stage of public consultation before the SFDR review which is due to take place in Q4 2025.

Eurosif strongly supports a far-reaching review of SFDR and the establishment of clear categories of ESG or sustainability-related products based on minimum criteria. It is essential that a future update of the rules on the distribution of financial products to retail investors reflects these categories.

SFDR disclosure requirements should be streamlined. However, all financial products should disclose easy-to-understand information on their sustainability risks and impacts. This is key for facilitating the comparability of financial products and for ensuring retail investors can make informed decisions.

Entity-level disclosures under SFDR should be retained, however some adjustments are needed. The focus should be on the processes, policies and methodologies that financial market participants put in place to identify the positive impacts of their investments and to address their negative impacts.

You can find our full response to the Call for Evidence below.

Stay tuned for our forthcoming report on the SFDR review where Eurosif will present its recommendations in greater detail.
