Regulation Amending The Benchmarks Regulation Published

Please see below for more detail on the main amendments to the Benchmarks Regulation introduced by the Amending Regulation and first described in our newsflash published on 15 April 2019:

• Introduction of new regimes for EU Climate Transition Benchmarks and EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks.
  The two new regimes aim at creating reliable and easily recognisable labels for environmentally aware investors across the EU with the goal of promoting investments in environmentally responsible companies and environmentally friendly technologies. These new regimes should thus ultimately contribute to the implementation of the UN Paris Agreement on climate change and help to avoid greenwashing.
