S&P Global engaged with the work of IOSCO’s Sustainable Finance Taskforce and appreciates the dialogue this initiative has fostered between policy makers and ESG product providers. We welcome IOSCO’s final recommendations in this space which focus on the promotion of high quality ESG ratings and data products.

As jurisdictions look to implement the IOSCO recommendations through various initiatives at national and regional level S&P Global will continue to contribute to this important dialogue with our insights and views. We believe that consistent implementation of the IOSCO recommendations will support the production of high quality ESG data and rating products and will help to avoid fragmentation across jurisdictions.
