On 25 August 2022, the Commissariat aux Assurances (the “CAA”) published Information Note 22/9 (the “Note”) to make actors aware of the main existing and forthcoming regulatory texts governing sustainability in the insurance sector.

The CAA specifies in particular that it expects market actors to:

  1. verify the scope of each text with respect to the entity’s business, size and nature;
  2. implement timely measures to effectively meet the applicable requirements;
  3. track the development of regulatory texts in progress and prepare for their entry into force;
  4. be able to respond to ad hoc requests from the CAA.

The CAA further specifies that it will adapt its supervisory practice to include the verification of compliance with relevant regulatory developments.

The Note includes a table summarising the main texts pertaining to sustainable finance in the insurance sector and outlining their scope of application as well as their key requirements.
