On 1 November 2021, CFA Institute issued the first global standards for disclosing how ESG issues are considered in an investment product's objectives, investment process, and stewardship activities. Chris Fidler, Senior Director in the Global Industry Standards department, CFA Institute, will guide us to through these new Standards, giving us a view on the purpose, scope and benefits as well as the relationship to Regulations and Other Codes and Standards.

Here in Europe we are especially interested the relationship the Disclosure Standards have with the EU SFDR (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation). We are happy to welcome Annika Esono Manninen, Head of ESG, OP Asser Management, and Antti Malava, Head of Sustainability Insights & Analytics, Danske Bank Asset Management, to give comments on the SFDR regulation, and the role, benefits and challenges voluntary ESG standards, such as the CFA Standards, may bring in the asset management field.
