The European Supervisory Authorities (ESMA, EBA and EIOPA) have
issued a
Call for Evidence, looking for feedback on potential
greenwashing practices across the EU financial sector.
The European Commission
wrote to the ESAs in May 2022, asking for:
- input on the occurrence of greenwashing,
- feedback on the potential for greenwashing risks,
and
- an overview and assessment of supervisory practices,
experience, convergence and capacities relating to the prevention
of greenwashing.
The Call for Evidence contains a section common to all three
ESAs and separate sections relevant to each ESA. One of the key
areas in which the ESAs are seeking feedback as part of the
cross-sectoral section is a draft list of
potential 'core characteristics' of
greenwashing.
