Un pas vers la sanction des pratiques de greenwashing en France

The AMF's first public administrative agreement with Primonial Reim regarding sustainability communication failures is seen as a positive signal but insufficient to address systemic greenwashing in French sustainable funds. Reclaim Finance and other signatories call for the total exclusion of fossil fuel developers from sustainable funds and the application of immediate, systematic sanctions for non-compliance.

• The Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) reached a first-of-its-kind public administrative agreement with asset manager Primonial Reim due to failures in its sustainability communication, signaling a potential shift toward treating non-financial sustainability requirements with the same rigor as financial ones.
• Greenwashing is described as systemic within French 'sustainable' funds, resulting in millions of French savers unknowingly supporting polluting activities.
• Reclaim Finance, along with over 20 researchers, economists, and NGOs, demands three specific measures: the exclusion of companies developing new fossil fuel projects from sustainable funds, immediate and systematic sanctions for financial actors who include fossil fuel developers in such funds, and stricter criteria for clear and non-misleading information for savers.
