Right People. Clear Direction. Execution.
Cardiff 28 April 2026
Progress in complex, cross-border environments requires the right people, clear direction and the discipline to move with focus.
That was one of Radek Stech’s main takeaways from participating in the Semafor World Economy. He was pleased to have been invited to participate on behalf of its co-chairs, including Ken C. Griffin (Citadel), Henry R. Kravis (KKR), Penny S. Pritzker, and David M. Rubenstein (The Carlyle Group) as part of a highly selective group of principals.
The discussions reinforced a simple point: with the right team and clear direction, meaningful progress can be delivered quickly, including within a 30-day timeframe.
These insights will inform the execution of the Global PSSL CIC 2026 Action Plan published last week [available here].

About Global PSSL
Global Principles for Sustainable Securities Lending (Global PSSL) is the fundamental global mechanism for aligning securities lending with transparency and sustainable finance. It has been co-created by Dr Radek Stech, prominent asset owners, asset managers, sovereign wealth funds, banks, hedge funds other stakeholders committed to positive change since 2018. Global PSSL has received significant funding from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), part of UK Research and Innovation, through the Sustainable Finance – Law – Stakeholders (SFLS) Network at Exeter Law School in addition to some financial assistance from some industry stakeholders. The ESRC grant request was designed based on earlier engagement with stakeholders shaping values-based banking, green bonds and sustainable project finance as well as continuous contact, research and discussions with staff from the World Bank (the official partner on the grant). In order to preserve its impartiality, the Global PSSL framework is based within its own independent community interest company.
