ISLA to keep ESG in focus

The International Íø±¬³Ô¹Ï Lending Association (ISLA) will continue to keep environmental, social and corporate (ESG) governance in focus, according to its CEO, Andrew Dyson.

The ESG debate and how securities lending co-exists alongside principles of responsible investing and good corporate governance is something that ISLA has been looking at for some time, Dyson noted in his blog, ‘Reflections of the CEO’.

Dyson explained that he recently attended the regular Bank of England Íø±¬³Ô¹Ï Lending Committee (SLC) meeting where it was acknowledged how important it will be to get this dynamic right.

He added it will be important if we want proper secondary market liquidity behind these funds, as well as allowing investors to see incremental returns to their investments through securities lending.

This theme will be explored at future meetings and will be a key component of the sustainability sessions at the ISLA conference in Madrid later this month.

Two further agenda items from the meeting are relative performance measurement for securities lending, and the drive towards diversity across our markets and institutions.
