WFE joins forces with SSE for joint publication on sustainable derivatives exchanges
2 October 2020

A work in progress
The SSE Derivatives Exchanges Advisory Group involves more than 60 members from 34 different organizations across 22 countries, including derivatives exchanges, securities regulators, investors and other SSE stakeholders. This group has already deliberated via webinar and written comments on a ‘Zero Draft’ of a report on how derivatives exchanges can contribute to sustainable development. The next iteration of the draft document went out for review by the advisory group on 1 October 2020. Based on the expertise and constructive inputs of this advisory group the report is expected to be finalized by December 2020.About the SSE
The SSE initiative is a UN Partnership Programme organised by UNCTAD, the UN Global Compact, UNEP FI and the PRI. The SSE’s mission is to provide a global platform for exploring how exchanges, in collaboration with investors, companies (issuers), regulators, policymakers and relevant international organizations, can enhance performance on ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance) issues and encourage sustainable investment, including the financing of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The SSE seeks to achieve this mission through an integrated programme of conducting evidence-based policy analysis, facilitating a network and forum for multi-stakeholder consensus-building, and providing technical assistance and advisory services.
