Pressestimmen

«Eine ausgezeichnete, kompakte und trotzdem umfassende Übersicht, informativ und dank überzeugender Strukturierung auch zum Nachschlagen sehr geeignet.» (Prof. Dr. Peter Forstmoser, Universität Zürich, Partner bei Niederer Kraft Frey)

«Life saver for everyone working with European Sustainable Finance Regulation. Thank you, Dr. Tadas Zukas, for breaking these complex regulations, their amendments, guidelines and Q&As down into understandable blocks in easy language and pointing out what is important to know when implementing them.» (Polina Suppé, Sustainability Compliance Officer, LGT Private Banking)

«A great book on an important subject explaining clearly the main issues and rules.» (Prof. Dr. Carlo Lombardini, Université de Lausanne, Partner at Poncet Turrettini Avocats)

«Tadas Zukas' book not only simplifies complex regulations but also provides practical guidance on key topics like green investments and sustainability reporting. Its clear structure and approachable language make it an indispensable reference for staying up-to-date with evolving regulations in sustainable finance.» (Prof. Dr. Thomas Jutzi, Director of the Institute for Economic Law, University of Bern)

«Dr. Tadas Zukas has crafted a clear and practical guide to European Sustainable Finance Regulation. This book stands out for making complex regulations more accessible while offering valuable insights for implementation. It’s a vital reference for anyone navigating sustainable finance.» (Dr. Cyril Pasche, Senior Director Publications & Topic Development, Swiss Finance Institute)

«Most books on ESG regulation written by lawyers are a) hard or impossible to understand for non-experts and b) lack a connection with the business view. The book by Tadas Zukas avoids both of these shortcomings and therefore is a great read for all regulatory non-experts who need to know how to ensure compliance while fulfilling the key objective of doing successful business.» (Dr. Marcus Fenchel, Senior Manager Sustainable Finance, Finalix Business Consulting) 

«Möglicherweise ist Zukas mit «European Sustainable Finance Regulation» gar ein Nachschlagewerk gelungen, das bald in vielen Hörsälen und auf vielen Schreibtischen stehen dürfte.» (Anton Beck, Redakteur bei HZ Banking/Handelszeitung, Auszug Buchrezension vom 7. November 2024)

«Reading it from cover to cover brought me back to my own work on the EU Taxonomy and SFDR, reflecting on my summer 2021 when I completely immersed myself in EU regulations and nothing else. But this demanding work can now be spared for you. This book goes even further, synthesizing and enhancing that foundational knowledge, and I truly admire Dr. Zukas’s effort putting it all together. Because that’s where this book’s true value resides." (André Bittner, Senior Consultant Sustainable Finance & Strategy, Wüest Partner)

«Dieses Werk ist ein must-have für Praktiker, Forschende und Studierende gleichermassen. Es bringt ein sehr komplexes Thema konzis auf den Punkt und ist aufgrund der zahlreichen Graphiken sehr angenehm zu lesen.» (Andreas Hösli, Rechtsanwalt & Senior ESG Associate, Walder Wyss)

 «I worked on sustainable investing for many years when it was based on voluntary standards and best practice. Then I moved on to an industrial company, and after a few years was invited to join Sp-Fund Management Company as a board member. During these few years there had been a legislation tsunami and as it still keeps on developing, it is quite an effort trying to be up to speed. This new book turned out it was exactly what I needed! Dr. Tadas Zukas has written a fantastic and relatively short (!) recap of what one needs to know about European Sustainable Finance Regulation, and also how it was built on top of previous frameworks and concepts—and which ones are still relevant. Hope many can benefit from this book.» (Tiina Landau, sustainability leader and co-author of "Sustainable Investing: Beating the Market with ESG", Palgrave Macmillan 2021)

«This book is a remarkable achievement that reflects Dr. Zukas's deep commitment to advancing sustainable finance and helping navigate the evolving regulatory landscape in Europe. The author's dedication to this important topic is inspiring, and I’m excited to see the positive impact his insights will have on the industry.» (Meha Lodha, Deputy Head Corporate Responsibility, Vontobel)

«As I've been navigating through the ocean of regulations and publications in the field of sustainable finance since 2017 (and in three languages), something struck me at the very instant I opened this book. It’s more than a guide, it’s a compass, clear and concise. It goes without saying that I couldn’t put this book down before having read it cover to cover. It is a real page-turner: Dr. Zukas accomplished an authentic 'tour de force' considering the complexity of the topic.» (Eddy-Pierre Larra, expert in translation and sustainable finance, entrepreneur & founder of Fidestra) 

«This new book is exactly what practitioners and academics need: A timely and thorough analysis of European sustainable finance regulation. With sustainable finance being increasingly dominated by regulatory requirements, the book is a must-read also for non-lawyers. I can highly recommend it.» (Prof. Dr. Zacharias Sautner, Professor of Sustainable Finance at the University of Zurich and Senior Chair at the Swiss Finance Institute) 

«I applaud Dr. Tadas Zukas for the great effort of putting together such a comprehensive and concise overview of European Sustainable Finance Regulation—a complex and yet very important topic. This new “in a nutshell”-book is structured around key sustainable finance concepts, which enables the reader to understand how the field has emerged and how the dots are conceptually connected. The author introduces the concepts and regulations step by step, always explaining the underlying "ratio legis". I particularly liked the numerous direct excerpts from primary official documents in the green boxes which help to navigate through the jungle of relevant sources. For me personally, reading the book was an inspiring experience. Although the target audience described in the introduction of the book is not necessarily people like me who have been working in the field for some years, I must say that taking the time to reflect on the basic concepts and reading more about how it all emerged proved to be extremely helpful to me. I think that the target audience could well be expanded to also include experienced practitioners who sometimes risk drowning in detail related to the company specific business model and internal debates. All in all, reading the book provided a much-needed reassurance on the fundamentals and nudged me to reflect on some of the decisions taken during the various implementation projects. I have written down many notes in my personal notebook that I will carry into my upcoming year’s work plan.” (Roland Stucki, Senior Banking Lawyer and ESG Expert, Head Legal Regulatory at ZKB)

«The book is a great guide and an engaging read, with helpful visualizations and relevant references. It maintains a strong flow and supports in learning and understanding the complex regulatory landscape. If there were more books like this, people would be less averse to regulation, as books on regulations are often written in a complex way and lack illustrations.» (Ganna Morger, PhD in Finance, Lead Climate Reporting Consultant at CelsiusPro) 

«This book is for you as a European lawyer or financial/compliance expert: (a) if you are new to the subject of Sustainable Finance: There are not only several decades of academic discussion and international arrangements that preceded first legislative steps, but also a large number of different new regulations and directives that entered into force over the last five years. The book takes you through these both historically and systematically, and uses many graphs, charts and other cues to facilitate understanding of the topic; (b) if you are already familiar with Sustainable Finance, but do not want to miss details: Within few years after the groundbreaking Sustainable Finance Action Plan, the European legislator passed dozens of laws and published  thousands of pages of legislation (including consultations and interpretative statements). The book not only gives a comprehensive overview of such legislation, also detailed guidance that is very close to the actual texts; (c) if you want to dig deeper into Sustainable Finance or want to apply it to practical problems: The current regulatory landscape can give the impression of being incoherent, sometimes with inconsistent or even contradictory rules. Tadas Zukas explains how different pieces of legislation are connected, what the respective rationale is, and how to reconcile such inconsistencies. He shows how to address difficult interpretation questions, and for a lot of practically relevant application problems, he shows convincing solutions that are mostly based on close reading of the legislative sources.» (Dr. Uwe Trafkowski, Senior Banking Lawyer and Sustainable Finance Expert, Head of Legal Europe at CMC Markets Germany) 

«The book has become my go-to resource whenever I encounter new developments or need to prepare for discussions on specific regulations or consultations. In an era dominated by “omnibus solutions”, it’s invaluable to have a reference that clearly explains each individual component. I truly appreciate the author's ability to clarify complex topics into easily digestible pieces. Very well done!» (Giada Motta, Sustainability Analyst, UBS)

«Sustainable finance is becoming increasingly regulated and it can be hard to stay on top of what has been termed a "regulatory tsunami." Fortunately however from the 10'000s of pages of European Sustainable Finance regulation Dr. Tadas Zukas has boiled it down to this short, highly accessible book. As we are often asked in our courses questions that touch on regulatory topics, it's been personally invaluable to have a go to reference book that provides succinct answers and clear definitions on European regulation where both understandability and precise wording are paramount. For those working in the field of sustainable finance, this book is a must have to be able to get quick easy answers when regulatory topics and questions arise.» (Andrew Douglas, Institutional Programs Manager at the Center for Sustainable Finance and Private Wealth, University of Zurich)

«I found the book to be very readable without sacrificing the quality of the legal and regulatory analysis, while putting the broad scope of the EU policy initiative into context.» (Prof. Dr. Kern Alexander, Chair for International Commercial and Financial Law, University of Zurich)

«In times of uncertainty and ongoing regulatory debates around Sustainable Finance in the EU, it’s worth revisiting the core purpose and foundational goals of sustainability regulation. Amidst the complexity, the new book by Dr. Tadas Zukas offers valuable guidance and perspective. The book is a must-read for anyone seeking a clear and concise overview of the key regulatory frameworks in Sustainable Finance. Whether you're just getting started or looking to deepen your understanding, this book provides: (1) A compact summary of all relevant regulations, (2) Contextual insights and conceptual clarity, (3) Thought-provoking reflections on the broader implications. The book is a timely and thought-provoking contribution to the evolving debate on how we regulate for a sustainable future. Congratulations and thanks to the author for the important insights and impulses in shaping the future of sustainable finance!» (Martje Timmermann, Responsible Investment Manager at Baloise Asset Management)

Verständlich geschrieben – auch für mich als Nicht-Anwalt – bietet es einen spannenden und wertvollen Einblick in die Thematik. Ich freue mich auf die weiteren Entwicklungen der Sustainable-Finance-Regulierung und auf die Insights von Tadas Zukas.» (Julian Malgiaritta, Geschäftsführer, FINANZ)

«An outstanding work, written by a practitioner with an academic background, that conveys the subject matter in a clear yet well-founded manner, making it easily accessible to both legal professionals and laypersons. Tadas Zukas, a recognized expert in this field, has succeeded in presenting an extremely complex topic with remarkable clarity.” (Dr. Ansgar Schott, Partner, Baker McKenzie Switzerland)

«As a communication practitioner in the finance industry, I was constantly faced with an impossible challenge: having to make sure our communication was compliant - but never really being sure what „being compliant“ actually meant. This book has finally enabled me to get a lay understanding of the ever shifting sands of sustainability regulation. Following Tadas Zukas through the process of creating the contents of this book was a fun journey in itself. The result is surprisingly, gratefully, readable.» (Katrin Nesemann, Partner, CCounselors Strategic Communication Advisory) 

«Tadas Zukas presents a clear, yet sophisticated, overview of the European regulatory framework for sustainable finance. The book skillfully balances conciseness with complexity, offering readers a structured and insightful guide to key EU instruments, such as the Taxonomy Regulation, SFDR, MIFID II and CSRD. The book is not only informative, but also strategically relevant for understanding Europe’s leadership in sustainable finance. The author provides precise explanations of terminology and core concepts, helping readers navigate the often dense and technical language of regulation. Despite the complexity of the subject, the book remains easily readable, making it an ideal reference for legal practitioners, compliance officers, and sustainability experts. It is, without doubt, an indispensable tool for anyone engaged in the implementation or interpretation of sustainable finance rules in Europe.” (Prof. Dr. Isabelle Romy, Attorney at Law, Partner, Co-Head of Sustainability & ESG Desk, Kellerhals Carrard)
