On April 27, 2022, ISDA and the Association for Financial Markets in Europe submitted a joint response to the European Securities and Markets Authority’s consultation on its draft guidelines on sustainability aspects of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MIFID II) suitability requirements.

Of particular importance to ISDA members, the response highlights that environmental, social and governance suitability requirements should not be applicable when a client is pursuing hedging via over-the-counter derivatives.
