What is the difference between an Article 8 fund and an Article 9 fund?
Under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, an Article 8 fund promotes environmental or social characteristics, while an Article 9 fund has sustainable investment as its objective – disclosure categories that became de facto labels driving fund flows. RI’s SFDR news coverage tracks classifications, upgrades and downgrades across the market, and how SFDR 2.0’s proposed categories will replace them.
Why does the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive matter to investors?
The EU CSRD was intended to be investors’ primary source of comparable, audited sustainability data on European companies, feeding SFDR reporting, portfolio screening and stewardship – which is why scope cuts under the Sustainability Omnibus directly affect data availability.
Responsible Investor provides news and analysis of the development and implementation of the CSRD, the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) that underpin it, and the Sustainability Omnibus.
