The purpose of this HLG is to make a holistic  investigation all policy and regulatory framework conditions required to enable large-scale, transformational investments that are needed in industry infrastructures, production processes and business models, at all stages of the value chain, in order to meet European and international commitments on climate, energy and environment.

The purpose also is to provide advice to the European Council and Commission about the necessary changes in these framework conditions to facilitate a transition to a circular economy and to achieve the Paris climate goals.

Beyond sustainable finance, there are other issues to be explored and other perspectives needed to achieve a timely and economically feasible transition, such as risk management, stock market rules, investment criteria and others, monetary policy, accountancy rules and rating criteria, to name but a few. This HLG will also focus on how public and private finances are used to enable the transition, in the broader context of the Eurozone rules and procedures.
