Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation
Wellington Management approaches the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) based on a philosophy of ensuring investment integrity and meeting clients’ expectations.
The SFDR, part of the EU’s Action Plan for Financing Sustainable Growth, has been a key focus for Wellington since its release in 2019. Having put in place the requisite product disclosures and policies for March 2021, we are now actively preparing for Level 2 requirements. Wellington is fully committed to ESG integration and sustainability with the support of firmwide Sustainable Investment Governance, Management and Leadership teams. We have also assembled a Sustainable Investment Regulatory and Third-Party Working Group to focus on the sustainability-related regulations. Our objective is to extend our partnership with clients to meet both their financial and sustainable investment goals.
