European Union rules aimed at defining sustainable investments should help reduce 'greenwashing' by businesses, but better quality corporate data is needed to ensure they work effectively, a banking report said on Tuesday.

LONDON - European Union rules aimed at defining sustainable investments should help reduce “greenwashing” by businesses, but better quality corporate data is needed to ensure they work effectively, a banking report said on Tuesday.

From January to August 2020, 26 of the region’s biggest lenders tested the EU framework across a range of core banking processes, including retail banking, trade finance and lending to smaller companies. However, they also raised a number of issues, many of which were data-related and could require a phasing in of reporting requirements.

The banks who tested the EU rules called on regulators to seek global alignment of regulations, and for better tools to manage data from clients, such as a centralised EU database.
