Inside SDR/SFDR Shake-Up: Key changes and how investors should respond

Tuesday 03 February 2026 | 13:00 - 13:50 | Webinar

The regulatory landscape for sustainable finance is shifting once again. On 19 November 2025, a leaked draft of the updated SDR/SFDR frameworks surfaced online, revealing significant proposed changes to labelling, disclosures, data requirements, and stewardship obligations.

To help investors navigate what these developments mean in practice, we are hosting a special session with a Tristram Lawton, leading regulatory expert from Simmons & Simmons. This webinar will unpack the key elements of the updates, clarify what is likely to become law, and explain how UK and EU investors should start preparing.

You will learn:

• The most important updates
• How the UK’s SDR labels compare with SFDR Article 8/9 categories
• What the new rules mean for fund marketing, portfolio design, and client reporting
• How to manage greenwashing risk under the emerging regime
• Practical steps investors can take now to prepare for regulatory convergence or divergence
• Cross-border implications for Article 8/9
• What these changes mean for sustainable capital allocation in 2026 and beyond

Who should attend:

Asset managers, compliance and legal teams, sustainability professionals, stewardship professionals, product and marketing teams, portfolio managers and research managers, institutional investors 

Timing:

 13:00 - 13:50
