SFA has launched a market-wide survey to assess the implemented or planned integration of ESG (environmental, social and governance) considerations in structured finance issuance and investing activities. We are also gathering information on various strategies, philosophies, and the extent to which firms operating in the structured finance market have already implemented ESG frameworks. 

Our survey seeks to capture ESG engagement at the parent entity level as well as at the structured finance business unit level.  If you are only in a position to respond to one and not the other, we still want your feedback.  Just skip those questions you are not in a position to answer.  All responses will be anonymized and aggregated for publication, and in no case will survey responses be made attributable or identifiable to a specific respondent or firm.

The survey has closed, but if your firm would like to submit a response please contact someone on the SFA Team.  The complete list of survey questions is available in this PDF version for reference.

Please contact someone on the SFA Team, with any questions about the survey or your firm’s response.
