Considering the adverse effects on sustainability and providing information on sustainability in the financial services sector
In November 2019, the European Union approved the Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector (hereinafter referred to as the “Regulation”) aimed at increasing the transparency in informing end investors (clients) on the impact of investment on sustainable development and about the risks threatening the sustainability in the financial services sector.
The aim of the Regulation is to increase the transparency in informing about how the financial market participants include the long-term sustainable development, i.e., environmental, social, and company policy criteria (Environmental, Social, and Governance, hereinafter referred to as the “ESG”) to risks and opportunities for their investment decisions.
The environmental factors include measures to fight the climate change by reducing emissions, waste management, or energy efficiency.
The social factors represent adherence to human rights, working conditions in the supply chain, prevention of illegal children’s work, and other factors such as adherence to health and safety in the workplace, integration of society with a local community, etc.
The company policy is a set of rules or principles of defining rights, obligations, and expectations between various parties involved in companies’ management. A well-defined company management system can function as a tool for successful fulfilment of its long-term strategy.
Across Private Investments, o.c.p., a.s. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”), in accordance with this Regulation, discloses the following information:
ESG risks
The identification of the ESG risks is generally performed by the product creator (financial market participant) and the information provided by product creators can be considered in the framework of the provided investment counselling.
The Company, when selecting financial products in accordance with the Regulation, which it recommends to its clients in the investment counselling process, considers the scope of the ESG factors integration in a financial product declared by the product creator. The Company supports sustainability factors thoughtfully, but at the same time it does not rule out that among the financial instruments that it recommends to its clients in the investment counselling process, there will be also financial products in which the extent of the ESG factors integration is not published or relevant.
Considering the adverse effects on sustainability
When providing investment service, the investment counselling considers the adverse effects on the sustainability factors that are environmental, social, or occupational matters, respect for human rights, or fight against corruption and bribery by examining client preferences for investment services, considering sustainability, but it currently does not provide such investment services that would consider all the criteria for their inclusion among ESG investment services. The reason is that the Company does not have all the necessary information from third parties (financial market participants), which would allow it to consider the main adverse effects on the ESG factors and allow the end investors to make informed investment decision.
Third parties have no right whatsoever to interfere with the Website, to modify it and/or remove or change any of its components. Across has a right to claim compensation for damage caused by the breach of this provision.
Third parties are not entitled to overload the Website with multiple simultaneous requests for access which could adversely affect its functioning (flooding). Across has a right to claim compensation for damage caused by the breach of this provision.
