SFDR statements

The EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) is a regulation that aims to enhance transparency and comparability to investors on how asset managers and institutional investors integrate sustainability dimensions in their general processes and at investment product level. 

Under SFDR, Danske Bank is committed to disclose how we integrate sustainability risks in our investment decision-making processes, advisory process and remuneration policies and how we consider the principal adverse impacts investments might have on sustainability factors. Statements are available below.
