As transparency requirements intensify for financial institutions, the arrival of SDR in the United Kingdom and the upcoming overhaul of SFDR within the European Union raise questions about their similarities and differences. This newsletter aims to provide initial insights into the relationship that unites—or perhaps separates—these two regulatory frameworks.

In an expanding but sometimes confusing sustainable finance landscape, the European taxonomy represents a major step forward. Its objective is clear: to create a common framework to direct financing towards truly sustainable investments. This financing of the transition via the taxonomy is already identified: according to the Platform on Sustainable Finance, taxonomy-aligned investments by large listed European companies increased by a third in 2023, reaching €250 billion by the end of the year.

The beginning of 2025 has been marked by the development of sustainable finance standards in Europe. Amidst this regulatory and normative flurry, labels are evolving rapidly: the French ISR label deployed its V3 framework on 1st January 2025, Greenfin celebrated its 10th anniversary with a revised framework, and several other European labels have strengthened their requirements.
