About the survey

The European Sustainable Finance Survey is an annual survey commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment on the topics of sustainable financing and the EU taxonomy. 

In 2022, the survey focused on European Asset Managers and Asset Owners and how they put the EU Taxonomy to use to increase the flow of sustainable finance. In 2021, focus was on how public financial institutions in Europe can use the taxonomy to promote sustainable development in line with the European Green Deal and the European Recovery Plan. The first edition in 2020 focused on the taxonomy alignment of large European companies and selected commercial banks.

The survey is implemented by adelphi in cooperation with partner organisations.
