LGT
, the financial services firm, has launched Invest Check, a tool that collects data which enables asset managers to report on and comply with forthcoming European Union regulations on sustainable finance.

Coming into force in March this year, the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation requires asset managers to take note of sustainability risks – such as carbon energy use – across the investment process, including how products are overseen.

Invest Check evaluates an asset manager’s sustainability strategy at both manager and product level, tracks performance and identifies gaps against an ESG set of figures that are based on regulatory standards.
