Frankly Speaking - A Podcast on Responsible Business · #112 Nathalie Dogniez & Julian Toth: What Is the Current State of Responsible Investment? · 9 Jun 2026 podcast

In the old days uh any arms were just automatically screened out and that that was that. voice-verified

But there's now some real s serious work on trying to get guidance uh for responsible investment in defence. voice-verified

And I know Eurosiv brought out a recent voice-verified

paper on that. voice-verified

Uh can it ever be responsible? voice-verified

And of course those emerging guidelines for responsible investment in defence grid all available on the internet. voice-verified

Julian, you're now working in venture capital and the the uh CIF in Chequel recently produced a report voice-verified

showing that that private equity and venture capital was integrating ESG, moving along the spectrum in terms of responsibility and investment. voice-verified

Uh tell me what you found in that study. voice-verified

But you do it. voice-verified

Uh now Natalie, we've got through two-thirds of this podcast without mentioning the Omnibus or ESRS or the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, but our podcast does track what's happening at the European level and Eurosif is a major stakeholder in those discussions. voice-verified

Uh first on SFTR, the the rules, disclosures for investors themselves. voice-verified

Uh you've welcomed the proposed new budgets or names for different funds, but you've said perhaps not robust voice-verified

enough. voice-verified

Just tell us what your concerns are in relation to that. voice-verified

And and some people do say that um the new S E S G basics tag might become the old Article eight and a bit of a catch all and uh and still uh subject to the accusation uh of greenwashing. voice-verified

Can I ask you as well, Natalie, about the omnibus uh and in particular voice-verified

d you know, the concern that Eurosiv has had throughout the voice-verified

you're losing information that investors need. voice-verified

Uh and of course in the latest version of ESRS that are proposed by the European Commission uh um and um out for consultation now, asset managers themselves are fully excluded. voice-verified
