One of the most significant recommendations being pursued in the EU’s Action Plan is ‘to introduce a common sustainable finance taxonomy to ensure market consistency and clarity’. In what way would it work? How can such a taxonomy be both flexible and have integrity for identifying activities, assets and revenue segments that deliver on key sustainability goals? How could the EU and its Member States apply relevant rules, and who would regulate them? What would that mean outside of the EU? This webinar will answer these issues and many more, and let you pose your own questions on the Taxonomy. Speakers: Martin Spolc, Head of Unit, Capital Markets Union, DG Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union at the European Commission (EC), Nathan Fabian, Chief Responsible Investment Officer, Rapporteur of the Taxonomy Group, PRI Moderator: Sophie Robinson-Tillett, Deputy Editor, Responsible Investor
