ICMA AMIC responds to third EC consultation on the EU Ecolabel for financial products

11 December 2020

ICMA's Asset Management and Investors Council has today published its response to the third EC consultation on the EU Ecolabel for financial products.

 While AMIC continues to support the idea of an EU sustainable label for retail investments funds, it also warns that, at best, only a residual portion of the greenest of sustainable funds will be able to meet the proposed requirements. Based on studies conducted by the EC itself and members of the UNPRI, AMIC therefore recommends to recalibrate the green thresholds, strictly align the EU Ecolabel on the EU Taxonomy framework, and review requirements for bond funds as they are not in line with current market practices and need to include more broadly bonds aligned with the Green Bond Principles.
