funds), to further enrich the ESG indicators in aggregated statistics and to possibly identify the holders of these securities by sector (the SHS Group dataset). In addition, the feasibility of uploading additional ESG related data in the reference database (e.g. on greenhouse gas emissions) will be assessed.
Work is also underway on measuring the carbon footprint of financial institutions via greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of counterparties. The objective is to measure financial institutions portfolios’  environmental impact, which in turn provides a proxy for their exposure to certain transition risks. At a later stage, the assessment could be expanded towards carbon alignment with national and international targets.
