本論文は、EUのSFDRとCSRDの間の実施ギャップが単なる移行問題ではなく、時間的・構造的・概念的な三次元的欠陥であると主張。2022-2023年の約1750億ユーロに及ぶArticle9再分類やDWS調査などの実証分析に基づき、ファンド運用者が規制執行、証券法、消費者保護、民事訴訟の4つの法的経路でグリーンウォッシング責任に直面することを示す。証拠法の原則に基づく「データ連鎖管理」ガバナンスモデルを提案。
English
This paper argues that the implementation gap between SFDR and CSRD is a three-dimensional structural defect (temporal, structural, conceptual) exposing fund managers to greenwashing liability via four legal pathways. Based on empirical analysis of the €175bn Article 9 reclassification wave and the DWS investigation, it proposes a 'data chain of custody' governance model as a risk mitigation mechanism.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
EU規制の分析だが、日本でもSSBJ開示基準やサステナビリティ情報の法的位置づけが議論される中、開示と分類の不整合がもたらす法的リスクの示唆は大きい。日本の金融機関・運用会社がグリーンウォッシング対策を強化する上で参考となる。
In the global GX context
A timely analysis of the structural flaws in the EU's sustainable finance architecture. The 'data chain of custody' model offers a practical tool for firms navigating multi-jurisdictional disclosure regimes and defending against greenwashing claims globally.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:The paper provides a novel legal taxonomy of greenwashing pathways and a governance model grounded in forensic evidence principles, offering a framework for future empirical and doctrinal research.
🏢実務担当者:Asset managers can use the proposed 'data chain of custody' as a blueprint to demonstrate reasonable steps and mitigate multi-pathway greenwashing liability under SFDR/CSRD.
🏛政策担当者:Regulators should note the structural gap between product-level and entity-level disclosure and consider aligning timelines and definitions to reduce legal exposure.
📄 Abstract（原文）
The EU's sustainable finance regulatory architecture mandated product-level sustainability classifications under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation years before the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive required the entity-level data those classifications presuppose. This article argues that the resulting 'implementation gap' is not the transitional timing problem that existing scholarship assumes but a three-dimensional structural defecttemporal, structural and conceptual-that exposes fund managers to greenwashing liability across four distinct legal pathways: regulatory enforcement, securities law, consumer protection and civil litigation. Drawing on empirical analysis of the €175 billion Article 9 reclassification wave (2022-2023), enforcement patterns including the DWS investigation, and comparative analysis of the UK's Sustainability Disclosure Requirements, the article demonstrates that this liability is intensifying rather than receding. It proposes a 'data chain of custody' governance model-grounded in forensic evidence law principles-as both a risk mitigation mechanism and a potential 'reasonable steps' defence against multi-pathway greenwashing claims.
