For investors to be able to assess the quality and configuration of a ratings-based approach, asset managers should also publish the following information: 1. Name of the sustainable investment approach 2. Rating, metric or index the approach is based upon, as well as a description in the case of a proprietary rating. 3.

Essential minimum threshold , i.e. the percentage of the portfolio that is still investable (for best-in-class). 5. Average sustainability rating or degree of alignment of the portfolio relative to the benchmark (for positive screening/positive tilt/alignment). 6. Exclusive use of external research or are internal resources available as well? For best-in-class or positive screening, the ratings/metrics used must consider all three ESG dimensions of sustainability and may not limit itself to just one or two dimensions.

ESG integration approach: Minimum Requirements
Add To Favorites Remove from Favorites
  • December 3, 2021
For the description “ESG integration” to be justified, it must be mandatory for analysts to actually consider ESG information in their analysis. If suitable information is available but is only used on a voluntary basis, claiming the use of an ESG integration approach is unwarranted. ESG factors can be made binding by integrating them into a shared factsheet or including them on the agenda of investment meetings.

For an investor to aspire to active ownership, an ESG policy should be in place for the exercising of voting rights and be published on the website. This should not concern itself exclusively with matters of good governance, but also include statements about priorities relating to environmental or social themes. In addition, the votes – at least for a specific, defined market segment – should be exercised for a significant proportion of the portfolio and voting details reported on an annual basis.

Areas of greenwashing prevention
Add To Favorites Remove from Favorites
  • November 3, 2021
In relation to the management of sustainability-related collective investment schemes, FINMA’s focus in preventing and combating greenwashing is on the following areas: i. sustainability-related information at the fund level (figure 2 below) and ii. suitable organisational structure at the institutional level for managing such products (figure 3 below).

Scenarios considered as greenwashing
Add To Favorites Remove from Favorites
  • November 3, 2021
Attributes such as “sustainable”, “green” or “ESG” can appeal to investors for whom sustainability characteristics are an essential criterion when making an investment decision. In particular, if a Swiss collective investment scheme is described in such a way or if a link to sustainability is established via another means, FINMA will pay particular attention to the information provided about the advertised sustainability characteristics when approving and supervising it. It will ensure that these are appropriately disclosed and will check that investors are not deceived regarding sustainable characteristics. The fund documents for Swiss collective investment schemes must therefore contain the information required for investors to make an informed investment decision. In view of the large number of possible sustainability strategies, thematic orientations and due to the lack of general definitions, classifications and measurement methods, establishing transparency for sustainability-related Swiss collective investment schemes poses a challenge, but is essential to protect investors. FINMA informed fund management companies about its expectations regarding the content of fund documents for sustainability-related Swiss collective investment schemes in February 2021.

Organisational structure of institutions managing sustainability-related collective investment schemes
Add To Favorites Remove from Favorites
  • November 3, 2021
Retrospective sustainability reports should be published setting out clearly and transparently for investors to what extent a sustainability-related Swiss collective investment scheme has achieved its sustainability goals. To promote good practice and ensure that investors are adequately informed, FINMA therefore recommends that a high degree of transparency is applied in sustainability reporting for sustainability-related Swiss collective investment schemes.

Rules of conduct at the point of sale
Add To Favorites Remove from Favorites
  • November 3, 2021
Institutions that manage collective investment schemes must be suitably organised. […] FINMA takes account of aspects such as the following when assessing whether it is suitably organised: • Investment decision process/investment controlling/risk management: Attention must be paid to integrating and observing sustainability-related considerations during the investment decision process. These should also be reviewed as part of independent monitoring of risks. • Specialist expertise and knowledge: It should be ensured that the requisite specialist expertise and the necessary knowledge in the area of sustainability is present not only within the body for governance, supervision and control, but also across the operational level as a whole. • Sustainability strategy: It should be ensured that the body for governance, supervision and control specifies the relevant strategy in relation to sustainability. • Sustainability-related data, tools and ratings: When selecting and using external sustainability-related data and analyses, tools and ratings, adequate assessment and monitoring of the data providers and validation of the corresponding information should be ensured. The adequacy of the organisational structure is dependent, in particular, on the sustainable strategy for the sustainability-related Swiss or foreign collective investment scheme being guaranteed and also on sustainability risks being captured as part of the risk management process, alongside the traditional investment risks.

The advisory process (at the point of sale) can also pose greenwashing risks if sustainability-related financial products are offered. These risks should be limited by financial service providers, particularly in view of their potential civil liability. […] The FinSA does not include any specific duties that indicate how a client’s sustainability-specific preferences should be taken into account at the point of sale […]. In this context, the Guideline for the integration of ESG considerations into the advisory process for private clients published by the Swiss Bankers Association in June 2020 should be referred to […].

Data and Methodology

  • June 1, 2021
Quantitative indicators can take the form of key performance indicators (KPIs), which capture both risk and opportunities, and allow for a comparison between portfolios. Nevertheless, beyond a static monitoring of their exposures, institutions should also focus on evaluating potential current and future impacts of ESG risks through scenario analysis. It might be less straightforward to translate social and governance risks into commonly agreed quantitative indicators and a more qualitative approach for these risks may be implemented in the first place.

ESG risk-related considerations as longer-term resilience of the institution’s strategy
Add To Favorites Remove from Favorites
  • June 1, 2021
In order to reflect the ESG risks in the supervisory evaluation, the EBA sees the need to proportionately incorporate ESG factors and considerations into business model analysis, in particular with regard to the analysis of the business environment, the current business model, strategy, and the assessment of the viability and sustainability of the business model. Key aspects to be considered in this regard include (sub-)sectoral and geographic concentrations, the institution’s (potential lack of) reflection on the impact of a changing business environment, internal capacity building, relationships with stakeholders and projected profitability and losses under an ESG risk perspective.

Climate-related risks can affect theirs safety and soundness by driving financial, strategic and operational risks and by affecting a FRFI’s reputation. For FRFIs, OSFI agrees guidance on climate-related risks should be principles-based and consider the Canadian context as well as international developments and for FRPPs, OSFI will continue collaborating with the Canadian Association of Pension Supervisory Authorities to develop guidance on integrating ESG factors in pension investment decisions.
