French Financial Regulator Calls for Review of SFDR Minimum Standards
February 24, 2023On February 13, the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), the French financial regulator, proposed the introduction of legislation to establish “minimum environmental requirements” that must be met in order for financial products to be classified as Article 8 or Article 9 under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).
