ESMA Library

ESMA publishes three explanatory notes covering key topics of the Sustainable Finance (SF) framework: a) definition of sustainable investments; b) application of do no significant harm (DNSH) requirements; and c) use of estimates. 

The notes aim at setting out factual information regarding these concepts and providing helpful aide to stakeholders to navigate and better understand the Sustainable Finance legislative framework. These documents are purely descriptive. They are not intended to replace relevant legal texts nor to provide guidance on the application of relevant provisions.
