The Luxembourg Stock Exchange (LuxSE) announced the launch of the Transition Finance Gateway, a new online platform offering aimed at enabling investors to access climate transition data on non-financial corporate debt issuers.
The new platform aims to improve clarity, comparability, harmonization, and transparency for investors on the climate transition-related performance of over 500 LuxSE-listed non-financial corporate debt issuers across both conventional and sustainable bonds.
It consolidates data from four internationally recognized providers: CDP, the Net Zero Tracker, the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), and the Transition Pathway Initiative (TPI) Centre.
John Lang, Project Lead at the Net Zero Tracker, said:
“The Transition Finance Gateaway is a significant step forward in closing the accountability gap between issuers and investors by shedding light on corporate net zero targets and transition planning. By making our data accessible in this way, LuxSE is helping drive the market towards real economy emissions reductions, especially in sectors and regions where clarity is most needed.”
According to LuxSE, issuers featured on the platform can showcase their transition strategies through dedicated issuer pages, which also include complementary information about their transition-focused actions. This visibility allows issuers to benchmark against peers and enhance their own transition pathways.
For investors, alongside increased transparency, the Gateway includes climate transition data on issuers operating in emerging markets and hard-to-abate sectors – both of which are areas in which investors struggle to procure climate-related decision-useful information.
Tracy Wyman, Chief Impact Officer at the SBTi, said:
“The launch of LuxSE’s Transition Finance Gateway is a major step forward in increasing transparency and accountability in climate finance. It helps global stakeholders understand the level of climate ambition in the financial sector and track progress toward meaningful action. This insight can guide smarter investments and support a more resilient, net-zero future.”
The exchange said that more features and tools currently under development as part of its broader transition finance mission, including additional features in the Gateway, as well as entirely new products around the transition theme.
Laetitia Hamon, Head of Operations and Sustainable Finance at LuxSE, said:
“In a time when others are stepping away from this area of the market, we – together with the four data providers – are stepping up to promote clarity, comparability, and harmonization on the climate transition. We need to make sure that issuers and investors alike have the opportunity to play their role in this important mission.”
