On 23 April, the three European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) - the EBA, EIOPA and ESMA - issued a joint consultation paper on proposed environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosure rules, called Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS).
The RTS are prompted by several obligations under the Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (the “Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation” or “SFDR”) and aim to strengthen investor protection as well as improve disclosures on sustainability-related matters.
The draft RTS include:

The consultation paper and the proposed rules are available here.
