1. Theoretical background
Firstly, the Green Deal will be discussed and its impact on the financial market. We discuss the importance of the development of the common and harmonised "Taxonomy" for classification of "green assets" and certification of sustainable finance. It appears that one of the most impactful measures of these rules for market participants, is the obligation to report on these classifications and certifications to enable investors to actually make ‘green’ decisions. Such reporting obligations and their regulatory basis will be addressed. Furthermore, the course will focus on the legal framework which forces corporates to focus on the role of sustainability in their individual supply chain.
