21. When setting up, approving and overseeing the implementation of the aspects listed in paragraph …

When setting up, approving and overseeing the implementation of the aspects listed in paragraph 20, the management body should ensure that the business model and governance arrangements take into account all risks the issuer of ARTs is or might be exposed to and the risks that they pose or might pose to others and to the environment. For that purpose, issuers of ARTs should also take into account all relevant risk factors, including environmental, social and governance risks factors (ESG) and consider the climate and other environmental impacts caused by the energy consumption of the consensus and validation mechanisms used. Other ESG risk factors that should be considered include legal risks in the area of contractual or labour law, risks relating to potential human rights violations or other ESG risk factors that may affect the country where a third-party service provider is located and its ability to provide the agreed service levels.
