ESAs update SFDR Q&As

The European Supervisory Authorities—the European Banking Authority, European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority and the European Securities and Markets Authority—have published an updated version of their consolidated Q&A document (JC 2023 18) on the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) and on Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1288 supplementing the SFDR. The latest update includes four new Q&As addressing: (i) the definition of the term "water usage"; (ii) how to calculate useful internal floor area for owned real estate assets; (iii) best practice about disclosure of percentages for environmentally and socially sustainable investments; and (iv) whether financial products should calculate top investments or shares of investments in periodic disclosures in a specific way over the reference period.
