The aim of the SFDR is to increase transparency in relation to sustainability amongst financial institutions and market participants so that clients can make informed investment decisions. It consists of disclosure requirements at firm and service and/or product level to standardise sustainability disclosures, which aims to improve industry-wide comparability and help prevent greenwashing.

The below Article 8 Periodic Product Disclosures (disclosures) cover a sample of our core Sustainable Discretionary Portfolio Management strategies.  These disclosures provide details of how Environmental, Social and Governance characteristics promoted by the product are met. The disclosures will be published annually on this website.

For further information on how SFDR has been addressed by Barclays Bank Ireland, see our SFDR webpage.
