Article 9 imposes pre-contractual disclosure obligations on financial products that have sustainable investment as their objective. Sustainable investment is defined in Article 2(17) (positive contribution + DNSH + good governance). Article 9(1) requires (a) information on how the sustainable investment objective is to be attained + (b) if an index is designated as a reference benchmark, information on how that index is aligned with that objective + an explanation as to why and how the designated index aligned with that objective differs from a broad market index. Article 9(2) where no index is designated: an explanation on how that objective is to be attained. Article 9(3) where the objective is a reduction in carbon emissions: information on the EU Climate Transition Benchmark (CTB) or EU Paris-Aligned Benchmark (PAB) designation under Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 (the Benchmark Regulation as amended by (EU) 2019/2089); where no CTB or PAB is available the disclosure must explain the continued effort + how a CTB / PAB will be deemed to apply. Article 9(4) Article 9 product disclosures follow the SFDR RTS Annex III template (Articles 14-23 + Annex III): planned 100% minimum share in sustainable investments + Taxonomy-aligned breakdown + DNSH demonstration + carbon-emission-reduction CTB / PAB designation where relevant. Article 9 products are commonly referred to as 'dark-green'.
This control maps to 1 controls across 1 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
The graph holds this control, the 1 it maps to, and the evidence behind each claim, over MCP and REST.
