It is mainly meant to enhance ESG transparency of financial products and those who issue them.The ICMA Asset Management and Investors Council (AMIC) has responded to consultations and produced a briefing note on the ESAs final recommendations on SFDR RTS.

-engage with regulators/standard setting bodies on the finalisation of SFDR implementation measures
-establish a forum to discuss SFDR implementation with other market participants
