There is broad recognition that achieving international climate goals will require a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from carbon-intensive sectors. The issuance of a Transition Bond may attract a more diverse pool of investors and help companies fund projects aimed at decarbonizing operations and supporting the progression to a low-carbon economy.

Given this context, Sustainalytics believes now is the right time for the European Commission to look at ways to strengthen the quality of corporate ESG reporting and disclosure, and encourage greater transparency regarding the processes ESG research and ratings agencies have in place to arrive at company-level ESG ratings. To ensure our views are heard, herein Sustainalytics provides our perspectives with respect to corporate disclosure, insights into our research processes, and how we believe the European Commission can help to strengthen the practice of sustainable investing.

Sustainalytics believes that natural gas has an important role to play in the energy transition, and therefore is an appropriate target for transition finance.
