Euronext is introducing a new section for ESG bonds from companies with the most ambitious climate targets, aligned with the aim to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C.

To be included in this section, issuers of ESG bonds must have committed to science-based climate targets for a 1.5° pathway, validated by the SBTi. Companies with targets of 2° and well-below 2° are excluded.

This dual selection process (ESG bond + SBTi 1.5° issuer) results in one of the most rigorous selections of sustainable financing solutions.
