Responding to this Call for Evidence
The Call for Evidence (CfE) seeks input on potential greenwashing practices in the whole EU financial sector, including banking, insurance and financial markets, and which may be relevant to various segments of the sustainable investment value chain and of the financial product lifecycle.
All interested parties are welcome to contribute to the survey, including financial institutions under the remit of the three ESAs and other stakeholders ranging from retail investors and consumers associations to NGOs and academia.
Respondents are invited to contribute to this CfE, both to the common part and to the ESA-specific sections, or to those sections of the CfE which are relevant for a given respondent (by going directly to the relevant section).
UPDATE: The ESAs will accept contributions to the Call for Evidence until the 16 January 2023 23:59 CET, after which the Call for Evidence will be closed. All contributions should be submitted online at this link.
Publication of responses
All contributions received will be published following the deadline, unless you request otherwise in the survey. A standard confidentiality statement in an email message will not be treated as a request for non-disclosure.
The ESAs reserve the right not to publish those responses which are assessed to be of an offensive or defamatory nature, are not related to the topic of the survey, or that include confidential information.
A confidential response may be requested from us in accordance with EBA’s, EIOPA’s and ESMA’s rules on access to documents. We may consult you if we receive such a request. Any decision we make not to disclose the response is reviewable by the ESAs’ Board of Appeal and the European Ombudsman.
