Foreword
Regulation (EU) No. 2088/2019 (hereinafter the “SFDR Regulation”) on sustainability disclosure requirements in the financial services sector requires entities providing investment advice and insurance investment products to publish on their websites:
The Bank is subject to these obligations in its capacity as a “financial advisor” as defined by the SFDR Regulation insofar as it advises its clients on investments and insurance investment products.
The Bank deems the consideration of sustainability risks and principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors to be of relevant importance in the context of investment advice and insurance investment products. Due to the Bank’s focus on ESG issues and with a view to introducing them in a more complete and organic way in its distribution model, Sparkasse has launched a project aimed at introducing and assessing the Bank’s preferences regarding sustainable investments and the consequent risks in the provision of investment advice and insurance investment products. The Bank, in carrying out this project, integrated the capturing of clients’ sustainability preferences (as per art. 2.7, letter b of the Delegated Reg. (UE) 2017/565) into its advisory activities in August 2022.
Information on policies on sustainability risk integration (Art. 3 SFDR Regulation).
At present, the Bank does not have specific indicators to represent and quantify the sustainability risks of the financial instruments and insurance investment products it advises on. Aware of the importance of assessing this new type of risk, the Bank, as part of the above-mentioned project, has initiated a series of internal assessments and analyses in order to acquire, in the near future, reliable and accurate indicators through which to assess the sustainability risks of the financial instruments and insurance investment products it recommends.
Upon completion of this process, the Bank will be able to integrate sustainability risks within the advisory service provided on the basis of metrics made available to it by data providers that will be integrated into its systems.
It should be noted, however, that as of today, sustainability risks are partially and indirectly considered within the risk metrics used by the Bank in relation to credit risk and market risk, which incorporate them to a certain extent. This implies that the Bank, although it has not adopted specific indicators to classify financial instruments and insurance investment products from the point of view of sustainability risks, assesses, albeit indirectly and partially, this type of risk within the other risks considered to date.
To date, therefore, the Bank also relies on the indicators already in its possession when considering sustainability risks. However, as part of the ESG project that has been initiated, the Bank will, in the near future, integrate sustainability risks into its risk management policies.
Transparency of remuneration policies in relation to the integration of sustainability risks (Art. 5 of the SFDR Regulation)
The Bank is sensitive to and recognizes the importance of sustainability issues and the consideration of sustainability risks also in the provision of investment advisory services as required by the SFDR.
It should be noted that the qualitative objectives set out in the Supervisory Provisions, such as compliance with legal and supervisory standards, together with the entry criteria related to capital strength and liquidity, are generally part of the scope of sustainability.
In order to integrate sustainability risks in a more punctual manner within business and management strategies, defining, where appropriate, also indicators of a quantitative nature, the Bank is preparing a specific plan of action, following which the relative aspects will be declined at all levels (investment services, credit policies, etc.). In this perspective, the remuneration policies for the year 2023 may also be reviewed.
