Cohen & Company Financial (Europe) S.A. has set up a sustainability framework articulated around the following axis :
- Defining a Sustainable Investment Policy
- Calculating an internal ESG score (Environment, Social & Governance) for each issuer, updated annually
- Reporting Extra financial data according to both European and French regulatory standards
- Setting up an internal Corporate Sustainable Responsibility (CSR) policy
- Aiming at permanently improve our investees’ and own ESG practices
Cohen & Company Financial (Europe) S.A.’s ESG framework is well ahead of its regulatory obligation in both Europe and France, because:
- the matter is too important not to be ahead of market standards
- we strongly believe that being rigorous, pragmatic and precise is the best way to avoid greenwashing
PRINCIPLE ADVERSE IMPACT DISCLOSURE
Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 on sustainability‐related disclosures in the financial services sector (“the SFDR Regulation”)
This European regulation requires Financial Market Participants and Financial Advisors :
- if above 500 employees, to report on the 14 Principal Adverse Impact (PAI cf. list below : environmental & social items) of each fund, on an annual basis with improving objectives;
- if below 500 employees, to explain on their website why they do not consider PAI of investment decisions on sustainability factors.
For Cohen & Company Financial (Europe) S.A., that is much less than 500 employees, the reason for not reporting PAI is that:
- small and medium size insurance companies and mutuals are far from providing the 14 PAI data;
- corporates, whose loans are pooled in a Collateralized Loan Obligation CLO, are also far from providing the 14 PAI data.
