Delegated Regulation on authorisation and recognition applications under ESG Ratings Regulation published in OJ

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/1119 supplementing the Environmental Social and Governance Ratings Regulation (EU) 2024/3005 (ESG Ratings Regulation) has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ). The Delegated Regulation specifies regulatory technical standards (RTS) on the information to be included in the application for authorisation as an ESG rating provider, and in the application for recognition of an ESG rating provider. The Delegated Regulation is based on the European Securities and Markets Authority's final technical standards on the transparency and integrity of ESG rating activities, which included final draft RTS on authorisation and recognition. We cover the RTS in more detail in our previous blog, which discusses its initial adoption in October 2025. The Delegated Regulation enters into force on 2 September and has applied since 2 July.
