SFDR – what it means in practice

Yesterday's webcast was a great start to CISI Ireland’s 2021 programme of events.

There was a strong attendance and very high level of engagement for this very timely look at the implications of the new disclosure regulations for sustainable finance.

Chaired by Council member Martin Collins, we had presentations from Sam Tripuraneni of Blackrock and Louise Dobbyn and Barry O’Connor of Matheson, the premier Dublin-based legal firm. Matheson count seven of the world’s top  ten asset managers among their clients and so were exceptionally well placed to give a perspective. Sam provided a master class on best practice in the lead up to the new requirements for the fund manager.

Our use of polls during the session show that for the majority it is very much a work in progress, though a lot has been achieved.

CISI Ireland were delighted with a very interactive Q&A session and subsequent very positive feedback.
