Stockholm (NordSIP) – The Platform for Sustainable Finance is an advisory body to the European Commission tasked with making recommendations focusing on the EU Taxonomy Regulation and updating and simplifying the technical screening criteria. Following the conclusion of the work of the second mandate of the platform, the European Commission published a call for applications for the selection of members for the third mandate of the platform was launched on 9 July 2025.
As the 10 September 2025 application deadline for the membership of the platform’s third mandate approaches, the Swedish Financial Services Authority (Finansinspektionen, FI) has issued a press release inviting prospective participants from Sweden to apply.
“FI encourages Swedish actors to participate to monitor Swedish interests and to help influence the design of future rules in the area. (…) Swedish actors have been members of previous Platforms and FI believes that the forum is important in the work towards a sustainable financial market and therefore encourages interested actors to apply by September 10th,” the Swedish Financial Services Authority (Finansinspektionen, FI) commented on this occasion.

Candidates are welcome to apply from a wide-ranging group of world-leading sustainability experts, including private stakeholders from financial, non-financial and business sectors, NGOs and civil society, academia, and think tanks. Experts appointed in a personal capacity, as well as public and international institutions, are also welcome. The new platform will consist of up to 35 members, of which up to 28 members are being sought within the framework of the EU Commission’s ongoing application process. Interested individuals and organisations are invited to submit their application through the dedicated online form, specifying their areas of knowledge and expertise.
The next platform’s mandate will run from the first quarter of 2026 to the fourth quarter 2027 and its work will focus on four fronts. Members of the platform will assist in the consultation on the EU Taxonomy draft Delegated Acts (foreseen by the Omnibus package and the adoption of which is planned for 2026). The platform will also help with the development of additional taxonomy technical screening criteria across all six environmental objectives and possible revisions and/or updates of the criteria where appropriate. The platform will also contribute to monitoring of capital flows into sustainable investments and with the implementation of transition finance policies.
The Platform for Sustainable Finance was first set up in October 2020, for a two‑year mandate. The second mandate of the platform began in February 2023 and was extended until March 2025, to allow the platform to finalise work that was still ongoing.
