Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation: What you need to know to raise capital in Europe

September 9, 2021

Thursday, September 9, 2021 at 9:00 am EDT

The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) went into effect in Europe in March 2020, creating important new requirements for fund managers seeking to raise capital on the continent, as well as for ESG reporting.

In this timely session, we will explore:

    • The key elements of the SFDR, and how funds have been managing the new requirements
    • The impact of the reporting for fund managers in Asia, Latin America, Africa, CEE and the Middle East
    • Expected changes in ESG reporting
    • How ESG reporting may evolve beyond Europe

 

Featured speakers include:

Mr. Davis joined Helios in August 2020, taking responsibility for Helios’ ESG activities across the investment lifecycle. He has 14 years of relevant professional experience, working in over 25 countries around the world. He was previously Head of Sustainability for EMEA at The Carlyle Group.
