It is time to accelerate sustainability risk implementation

Pension funds are in the process of concretizing sustainability risks in the risk management cycle.

Moreover, this initiative is also supported from SFDR with the encouragement of transparency and CSRD has recently strengthened its reporting requirements with a double materiality assessment. However, we see that integration is not yet at an appropriate level and pension funds are still looking for the optimal approach. A pragmatic approach is a good way to address the challenges.
