Today, more than ever before, sustainability means innovation

The multiple facets of sustainability have become part of everyday life, in the choices made by businesses and institutions in most of today’s world, triggering thoughts, ideas, and projects designed to tackle the scenarios of the future.

Massimo Mazzini, Eurizon’s Head of Marketing and Business Development, reflects on how sustainability-awareness has driven innovation in the AM company’s product offer, that now includes a widespread and diversified range of funds that also take into account ESG themes, and are tangible proof of the scope of Eurizon’s commitment

Eurizon investment plans, in compliance with the new disclosure and transparency requirements laid down by the European Union, provide a detailed description of the methods used to integrate sustainability factors into investment decisions.

The European Union, in the attempt to upgrade its efforts against the consequences of climate change and resource depletion, issued Regulation 2088/2019 (SFDR) laid down new disclosure and transparency requirements to strengthen protection for end-investors and financial-market participants. In this domain, financial products may be grouped into three categories. The distinctive factors of each category are detailed in the pre-contractual disclosure.
