FMA releases updated guidance on sustainability-related disclosures

The Financial Markets Authority has released updated guidance to provide issuers with greater clarity on disclosing and communicating financial products with sustainability-related characteristics. The document outlines four core principles requiring that claims be clear, substantiated, consistent, and effectively managed to ensure investors receive accessible and non-misleading information. This update replaces previous 2020 and 2022 frameworks while reinforcing existing fair-dealing obligations for issuers promoting environmental, social, or value-based considerations.
