Minimum Safeguards (OECD, UN Guiding Principles)

The minimum safeguards entry requires that financial products covered by the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation respect internationally recognised standards, specifically the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, to ensure they do not contribute to adverse environmental or social impacts. Compliance involves assessing and mitigating any potential harms in line with these principles before marketing the product.
