The Sustainable Finance Advisory Committee of the Federal Government in the 20th legislative term

The transformation of the economy in line with social, economic and environmental sustainability criteria requires significant global investments. For investors to make the necessary capital available, they need efficient, affordable and digital access to ESG information which should be as reliable and comparable as possible, as well as human- and machine-readable. For this reason, the German government should push at European level for a digital and public data infrastructure for raw ESG data in a central location, as is proposed in the EU’s action plan on the capital markets union, for example.
