On 14 May 2024, ESMA published its final report on Guidelines on funds' names using ESG or sustainability-related terms (ESMA/34-472-440) (the "Guidelines"). This follows on from ESMA's original consultation (see our previous briefing here). The objective of the Guidelines is to combat greenwashing and ensure that where the name of funds indicate an ESG objective or criteria, the portfolio and investment process reflects that profile.
