FI and sustainability

FI's mandate provides the direction

Since 2019, FI's overarching and traditional mandate – to safeguard financial stability, consumer protection and well-functioning markets – also includes a responsibility to ensure that the financial system contributes to sustainable development. We are fulfilling this new assignment by allowing a sustainability perspective to influence how we perform our original assignments.

FI is also the responsible supervisory authority for a number of new regulations related to sustainable finance. Our work will also be based on the tools that we have at our disposal as a supervisory authority.

Roadmap for sustainable finance

FI's roadmap contains three goals that will be our top priority in our work through 2025 to promote sustainable finance:

• good access to relevant, comparable and reliable sustainabilityrelated information,
• high levels of trust in a sustainable finance market,
• resilience to sustainability risks in the financial system.

The roadmap also contains a number of prioritised actions that will guide us in our work:

• implement new rules, maintain dialogue and communication
• integrate sustainability factors in our supervision
• forward-looking analysis tools
• prevent greenwashing
• improve access to sustainability-related information
• improve disclosures regarding sustainable financial products
• prevent financing of money laundering and terrorism
• active contribution to international policy work.
