Over last year, Molly has been working hard as representative of the Greens/EFA Group to ensure that the EU adopts the world’s first mandatory disclosure regime for a major financial market. 

This means people now have the right to know whether their pension fund is investing in a windfarm or cutting down a rainforest to plan a palm-oil plantation. It is only natural that this should be the case - when horsemeat was found in our lasagne, it was a scandal, but so far, we did not even know what was "in" our financial products. 

This is another important step towards building a more sustainable economy that will allow us to use our finance system to facilitate this transition.
