Permian believes that high standards in the areas of environment, social responsibility and corporate governance (ESG) as well as sustainable development goals (SDG) are a prerequisite for the group to be able to contribute to long-term value creation in companies and attract the best talents.
EU has made demands for transparency, classification and reporting for fund activities, including the Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) and the Taxonomy Regulations (TR). These requirements have a major impact on clients who are fund managers and their funds. Most of our clients are subject to these regulations and Permian has gained a lot of practical insight into the new legislation through our support across many clients.
Permian works with continuous development of operational experience, solutions and expertise in sustainable finance. Through this, Permian assists customers in operationalizing the relatively large set of guidelines, frameworks and reporting requirements within this area.
Permian focuses on 4 of the 17 SDGs from the UN. Through this, we seek to help achieve the goals for the Paris Agreement.
The Transparency Act entered into force 1 July 2022. The aim of the Act is to promote firms' respect for fundamental human rights and decent working conditions in connection with the production of goods and the provision of services and ensure the general public access to information regarding how enterprises address adverse impacts on fundamental human rights and decent working conditions.
