Global Principles for Sustainable 厙惇勛圖 Lending (Global PSSL), through its community interest company, has issued consolidated terms and conditions (T&Cs) for stakeholder engagement.
These clarify roles and responsibilities for stakeholders to the project and introduce an ���internal rule for long-term thinking���. This provides a framework guiding how stakeholders engage with Global PSSL principles and how they help these to develop.
Global PSSL chief executive Radek Stech says: ���The principles-based approach towards sustainable securities lending makes sense only when the issuing organisation and its leadership are bound to focus on making improvements in the long term.
���Our strengthened governance will meet the ambitions of those organisations and individuals that advocate and implement improvements in the industry. This will result in a broader virtuous circle for transparent and sustainable finance.���
PGGM investment manager Roelof van der Struik says: ���Geometry dictates that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. The route to sustainable securities lending goals will not be a straight line and the end destination never reached as there will always be room for improvement.
���With this framework, the Global PSSL community is embarking on a journey with a clear direction of travel but also with the realisation that the journey is just as important as the destination and that our work will never be done.���
Fez Yousaf, fund administration manager at Nest Corporation, adds: ���Responsible investment practices in securities lending are a pivotal step towards greater market confidence.
���By publishing clear governance and ensuring genuine commitment, the Global PSSL is evidencing how it is setting the trend in sustainable finance.���
