Global PSSL Strengthens ABC Score™ with New Fintech Advisor Appointment
Global PSSL fintech advisor appointment makes the company’s commitment to fintech policy and sustainable finance even stronger. The new advisor will be very important in moving the ABC Score framework forward. This tool is meant to help make the financial ecosystem more open, responsible, and aligned with ESG goals.
Global Principles for Sustainable Securities Lending is thrilled to welcome Balaguru Sakthivel as a Fintech Advisor to its College of Advisors, reinforcing its commitment to innovation, transparency, and governance in sustainable finance.

In his new advisory role, Balaguru will contribute to the development and validation of the ABC Score™ — Global PSSL’s governance-based tool designed to support transparency and accountability across sustainable finance — including new metrics on post-issuance green bond lending introduced last week [available here]. This will help support the fintech components of the Global PSSL United Nations Pathways Programme.
This Global PSSL fintech advisor appointment adds more fintech knowledge to the ABC Score framework, which is being updated to improve governance across the industry.
