There is currently a lack of uniform criteria and a common market standard for the assessment and classification of financial services and financial products as sustainable. This can lead to different providers assessing the sustainability of financial services and financial products differently. In addition, there are various new regulations on ESG (Environment, Social and Corporate Governance) and Sustainable Finance, which need to be substantiated, and additional regulations are currently being developed, which may lead to financial services and financial products currently labeled as sustainable not meeting future legal requirements for qualification as sustainable.
