INDUSTRY OUTLOOK her . While compliance plays a role in sustainability , it ’ s more formal in nature . We check if the post-contractual information to be published is sufficient . In any event , another of the tasks of the Department I head is registering new products with the regulatory authorities . Here , I can attest to the strong interest of MAPFRE ’ s

Management in promoting funds with these characteristics . And it ’ s just one more aspect of the Group ’ s commitment to sustainability .
MAPFRE AM has just reclassified three funds to Article 8 of the SFDR . Do you think we ’ ll see more reclassifications at other firms ?
As I just mentioned , it ’ s a process that began not long ago , but it ’ s unstoppable . Many people believe that this only has to do with sales . But if we manage to combine applying these principles with profitability ( let ’ s not forget that customers invest first and foremost to obtain a good financial return ), we ’ ll be able to offer our customers excellent service . And our children may inherit a kinder and fairer world . �
