The text mentions that there should be a minimal compliance with social and governance norms. The eight basic principles of the ILO are included in article 13 and this is positive. Governance standards should include the fiscal responsibility – i.e.: responsible tax practices - of the issuers which receive institutional investor investments.

What they argued
We believe that it would be of interest to link the platform to monitor and exchange good practices on the application of the SDGs created by the EC with the good practices of socially responsible investors who follow the SDGs (pension funds, etc.).
