The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) stand as a cornerstone of the EU’s mission to foster a transparent, sustainable financial ecosystem. By enhancing transparency and promoting responsible investment, SFDR provides a framework for financialmarket participants and advisers to integrate sustainability risks and impacts into their processes. For businesses, SFDR represents not just a compliance challenge but an opportunity to demonstrate genuine commitment to sustainability and align with evolving market expectations.

At Positive Organizations, we are dedicated to helping companies align their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices with both regulatory requirements and meaningful sustainability objectives. Let’s explore the significance of SFDR and how we can help you achieve your sustainability goals.

What is SFDR?

Effective since March 10, 2021, SFDR applies to financialmarket participants operating in the EU. Its key objectives are to:

1. Enhance transparency by providing investors with clear, comparable, and reliable information about sustainability risks and impacts.
2. Promote sustainable investments by encouraging capital allocation toward responsible initiatives.

Under SFDR, financial products are classified into threecategories:

• Article 6: Non-sustainability-focused funds
• Article 8: Funds promoting environmental or social characteristics (e.g., ESG-themed investment products)
• Article 9: Funds with a sustainable investment focus, aligned to EU Taxonomy (e.g., funds targeting renewable energy projects)
