Regulating Sustainable Finance in Europe

The European Sustainable Finance Action Plan marked its 5th anniversary in 2023. This special luncheon lecture invites you on a journey to the new European regulatory framework for sustainable finance, which has emerged out of the Action Plan’s legislative agenda and reshaped the European sustainable finance. 

 

The new European regulatory framework’s key regulations are now all in force. The sustainable finance market is also in the process of reaching a new level of maturity in tackling greenwashing. The new European regulatory architecture for sustainable finance is getting closer and closer to its conceptual completion. 

 

The lecture will start with a discussion of the purpose and underlying principles of the new European regulatory framework for sustainable finance. We will then proceed with an analysis of the key regulations and their key concepts, before closing with our speaker’s observations on the most recent supervisory developments relating to tackling greenwashing.

 

The lecture will be delivered by Dr. Tadas Zukas, Global Lead Senior Legal Counsel Sustainability / ESG at Vontobel in Zurich, Switzerland.
