| A sustainable investment label is a designation of an investment product to indicate its alignment with sustainability purposes.

| :"There will be three sustainable investment labels: sustainable focus, sustainable improvers, and sustainable impact. These are simplified from original proposals for five categories.
| | Historically, the rates of return on certain types of domestic central government debt were considered to be a close enough proxy for such hypothetical risk-free investments. |
|
| |
|
| :To apply the sustainable focus label, investment managers must evaluate assets to determine their sustainable credentials. For the sustainable improvers label, firms must state, in a measurable way, how the sustainability potential of the asset will be achieved. Lastly, the sustainable impact label covers assets that address environmental or social problems in underserved markets, or those that address observed market failures...
| | In the modern era, domestic central government debt is no longer considered to be risk-free for this purpose, nor for a number of other purposes for which it was historically considered to be risk-free. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
| :Restrictions will apply to all products and only labelled funds will be allowed to use designated words and phrases, including sustainable, environmental, social, and governance (ESG), impact, responsible, green, Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), Paris-aligned.
| | ====Interest rate benchmarks==== |
|
| |
|
| :Each sustainable investment label will be underpinned by a set of criteria covering investment policy and strategy, key performance indicators, firm-level attributes, and investor stewardship. They will also be voluntary and should only be used by firms for products that meet the prerequisite criteria.
| | The term 'risk-free rates' (RFRs) is also used in the context of interest rate benchmark rates. |
|
| |
|
| :However, firms choosing not to use them will still have to produce detailed sustainability disclosures at product and entity level, in accordance with the FCA’s proposal for a general anti-greenwashing rule, which aims to ensure that the naming and marketing of financial products in the UK is clear, fair, and not misleading."
