Question

Would it be possible to have a financial product disclosing under Article 8 SFDR that makes sustainable investments with environmental objectives which are not (yet) taxonomy aligned?

Answer

A financial product falling under Article 8 SFDR is allowed to partly make and to disclose on sustainable investments with environmental and/or social objectives. In this respect, as long as the sustainable investment with environmental objectives complies with Article 2(17) SFDR, it does not have to be Taxonomy-aligned.
