Circular CSSF 26/905
Application of the Guidelines of the European Banking Authority on the management of environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks (EBA/GL/2025/01)
AI Analysis
Circular CSSF 26/905 mandates the application of EBA Guidelines (EBA/GL/2025/01) on managing **ESG risks** for Luxembourg-supervised institutions, requiring integration of environmental, social, and governance risk identification, measurement, management, and monitoring into internal processes. This aligns with CRD amendments (Articles 74, 76, 87a) and emphasizes proportionality to institutions' business models, with plans including timelines, targets, and milestones toward EU climate goals like net-zero by 2050. It matters for compliance as it embeds ESG into prudential supervision, potentially impacting capital, risk frameworks, and supervisory reviews. #

Results of the enforcement of the 2024 financial and non-financial information published by issuers subject to the Transparency Law
Communiqué
AI Analysis
The CSSF's January 2026 enforcement report documents the results of its 2025 examination campaign on 2024 financial and non-financial disclosures by issuers under Luxembourg's Transparency Law. This publication is critical for compliance professionals because it reveals systematic compliance gaps across financial reporting (IFRS), sustainability reporting (ESRS), and Alternative Performance Measures (APMs), with 27% of enforcement decisions resulting in injunctions for non-compliance.

ESMA promotes clarity in communications on ESG strategies
ESMA promotes clarity in communications on ESG strategies 14 January 2026 Sustainable finance The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU’s financial markets regulator and supervisor, published today a second thematic note on sustainability-related claims, focusing on ESG strategies. The note concentrates on ESG integration and ESG exclusions, as references to these strategies are often made by market participants and widely referenced in marketing communications directed to ...
AI Analysis
ESMA published a thematic note on January 14, 2026, providing guidance on clear, fair, and not misleading communications regarding ESG strategies, specifically ESG integration and ESG exclusions, to mitigate greenwashing risks in non-regulatory materials like marketing. This matters because sustainability claims heavily influence investor decisions, and misleading communications can lead to supervisory actions, reputational damage, and loss of trust, aligning with existing EU rules under SFDR and related frameworks without imposing new disclosures. #

AI Analysis
The European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs)—EBA, EIOPA, and ESMA—published final Joint Guidelines on 8 January 2026 to standardize how national competent authorities (NCAs) integrate ESG risks into supervisory stress testing frameworks for banking and insurance sectors, without mandating new ESG-specific tests. These guidelines promote consistency, long-term methodologies, and common standards across the EU, initially prioritizing climate and environmental risks (physical and transition) before expanding to social and governance factors. They matter for compliance professionals as they shape future supervisory expectations, enhancing resilience assessments and aligning with CRD (Article 100(4)) and Solvency II (Article 304c(3)) mandates, potentially influencing firm-level stress testing preparations. #

More positive momentum in MNE investment amid lower uncertainty contrasts with slower pace of growth in domestic sectors and cooling of the labour market as drag from capacity constraints becomes evident.

PS25/25 – Enhancing banks’ and insurers’ approaches to managing climate-related risks – Update to SS3/19
Policy statement 25/25
AI Analysis
PS25/25 is the PRA's policy statement providing feedback on CP10/25 and issuing updated Supervisory Statement SS5/25, which replaces SS3/19 to enhance banks' and insurers' management of climate-related financial risks through strengthened governance, risk management, scenario analysis, data quality, and disclosures. It matters because it sets a higher regulatory bar for embedding climate risks proportionately into core processes like ICAAP, ILAAP, ORSA, and financial reporting, promoting resilience and strategic decision-making amid evolving climate threats. #

This matters for compliance professionals as it signals upcoming proportionate ESRS revisions that could ease reporting burdens for large listed companies starting voluntarily in 2026, enhancing investor usability without diluting key sustainability insights. #

AMF's response to the International Sustainability Standards Board’s consultation on the exposure drafts on international sustainability disclosures
Regulatory developments Europe & international Sustainable Finance Periodic & ongoing disclosures AMF's response to the International Sustainability Standards Board’s consultation on the exposure drafts on international sustainability disclosures
AI Analysis
The Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), France's financial markets regulator, issued a position paper on July 27, 2022, responding to the International Sustainability Standards Board's (ISSB) consultation on exposure drafts for international sustainability disclosure standards (IFRS S1 and S2). This matters for compliance professionals as it signals France's push for global-EU interoperability in ESG reporting, influencing how firms align ISSB "investor-focused" standards with Europe's double-materiality CSRD/ESRS framework to avoid dual reporting burdens. https://www.amf-france.org/en/news-publications/amfs-eu-positions/amf-response-issb-consultation-exposure-drafts-sustainability-disclosure-standards; https://www.amf-france.org/sites/institutionnel/files/private/2022-07/Position%20paper%20ISSB%20AMF%20-%20July%202022_0.pdf #

AI Analysis
The AMF's position paper responds to EFRAG's 2022 public consultation on the first set of draft European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) under the CSRD, welcoming their ambition on ESG topics and double materiality while urging proportionality, international interoperability, materiality focus, and alignment with EU laws like SFDR. This matters for compliance professionals as it shapes final ESRS, influencing mandatory sustainability disclosures for EU firms and financial market participants from 2024 onward, with potential simplifications affecting reporting burdens. https://www.amf-france.org/en/news-publications/news/amfs-response-efrag-consultation-draft-european-sustainability-reporting-standards #

The AMF invites providers, users and rated entities to respond to ESMA's Call for evidence on the ESG rating market in Europe
Europe & international Sustainable Finance Asset management The AMF invites providers, users and rated entities to respond to ESMA's Call for evidence on the ESG rating market in Europe
AI Analysis
The AMF is urging French stakeholders—ESG rating providers, users, and rated entities—to respond to ESMA's 2022 Call for Evidence on the EU ESG rating market to inform European Commission efforts on improving transparency and reliability. This matters as it contributes to the foundational data driving the ESG Ratings Regulation (EU 2024/3005), which imposes authorization, disclosure, and conflict-of-interest rules on providers, affecting sustainable finance compliance across the EU. With the regulation applying from 2 July 2026, early engagement helps shape final rules amid ongoing ESMA consultations on technical standards. #
