    Join Our Disclosure Framework & Standards Working Group

    The Structured Finance Association ESG Disclosure Initiative is taking its next step in developing an ESG Disclosure Framework for the structured finance market and the underlying reporting standards for each asset class – and we want you to be a part of it.

    Hear how other investors, issuers, dealers, rating agencies, data analytic firms, etc. answer the following questions – and add your view to the conversation:

    • Should an ESG framework for structured finance include sustainability factors that reflect the impact a deal has on the economy, environment, and society in addition to sustainability factors that have a financial impact on the securitization bonds themselves?
    •  Should ESG factors be considered over the life of the underlying trust assets? Should any be considered over a longer period?
    • What environmental factors should be disclosed for an RMBS transaction? Is the data readily available? What consistent method could be used to source, calculate, and report such data? What about CMBS? CLOs? Other asset classes?
    • What social financial and impact factors be disclosed for unsecured consumer loans? Should any disclosure be provided by the servicer?
    •  What does “G” in ESG mean for structured finance?

    And so much more.

    To build an industry consensus ESG disclosure framework and underlying standards that will achieve global adoption, we have established the following six working groups for our 1st phase of development:

    1. Structured Finance ESG Reporting Framework Working Group
    2. Auto ABS Working Group
    3. CLO Working Group
    4. CMBS Working Group
    5. RMBS Working Group
    6. Unsecured Consumer ABS Working Group

    Your knowledge and role in the industry will provide SFA with valuable perspective, benefitting the entire market.

    How to Register: Go to the “Join a Committee or Task Force” page on the SFA website under the “Issue Task Forces” sub-header.

    Driving to Green

    Green auto ABS deals represented $3.5 billion of the $29 billion issuer-designated ESG securitizations offered in 2021. Proceeds from these auto ABS deals financed the purchase of green vehicles at Tesla and Toyota, the inaugural issuers of green auto ABS deals thus far.  Read more.

     


     

    Increased RMBS ESG Disclosure

    Recently Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, SFA members and leaders in RMBS issuance, demonstrated their further commitment to ESG disclosure by providing corporate level disclosure in line with SASB disclosure. On the securitization level, leading private label RMBS issuers, Redwood Trust and Angel Oak have also begun making voluntary ESG disclosures. Read more.
