Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR)

While it is mandatory for manufacturers of financial products and investment firms to disclose relevant ESG factors, issuers of equity and debt instruments (‘investee companies’) are not obligated to do so under SFDR, resulting in missing data, lack of granularity and having to source ESG data from a wide range of providers and issuers. SIX sources the required data and maps it to the respective companies as well as to the underlying ISINs (if appropriate), while also leveraging already existing regulatory offerings and our well known high quality reference data. 

With our service for SFDR-related data, manufacturers of financial products and investment firms can rely on complete, clean, enriched, high quality data  that can be used in the back, middle and front office of financial services firms and for easy and accurate ESG reporting and disclosure.

Taxonomy Regulation (TR)

As part of the EU Action Plan on Sustainable Finance, the EU Taxonomy Regulation aims to define and standardize criteria for identifying companies’ sustainable activities, requiring financial institutions in the EU to disclose specific sustainability metrics of their economic activities. At SIX, we provide a high quality EU Taxonomy data set,  which includes information from large and listed companies and manufacturers of financial products, so that  you can accomplish your regulatory ESG reporting and disclosure obligations with ease.

EU ESG Manufacturer Data (EET - European ESG Template)

The EU Action Plan on Sustainable Finance has impacted many existing regulations in addition to bringing in new ones. Under SFDR, PAI (Principal Adverse Impact) disclosures on product level are mandatory as of 1 January 2023 for ESG focused products (e.g. Art. 8 and 9 funds). 

The EU ESG Manufacturer dataset from SIX contains ESG information on Funds and Structured Products sourced from the issuers (manufacturers) of these financial products to support our clients in fulfilling requirements under EU SFDR, EU Taxonomy as well as MiFID and IDD. The main source for the data is the EET (European ESG Template).

Climate Data

With the finance sector playing a critical role in the transition to a low-carbon economy, it is essential for financial institutions to manage the climate risks and impacts of their investment and lending portfolios, and to report transparently on approaches and outcomes.

The Climate Data from SIX supports our clients globally with their climate-related investment and risk decisions, disclosures, as well as with the monitoring of climate factors. This aggregated and normalized data is also used in investor reporting and supports compliance with the increasing number of climate related regulations.

GSS+ Bonds

The market for GSS+ Bonds (Green, Social, Sustainability/Sustainable and Sustainability-linked Bonds) has been growing steadily over the past decade with over 2 trillion USD in green debt issues. With this growth in the market for sustainable debt and sustainable financial instruments in general, there is a need for high quality, granular and transparent data.  The GSS+ Bonds data set from SIX provides best in class information to help our clients  make more diligent investment decisions and facilitate disclosures to the market and to customers.

Fundamental/Core Data

ESG risk ratings and scores as well as business and product involvement information and controversies on companies and sovereigns enhance the regulatory ESG and other ESG data sets from SIX and enable our clients to stay on top of sustainability risks and offer transparency on investment portfolios.

ESG Fund Metrics

The ESG Fund Metrics dataset aims to provide fund-level transparency to help customers better understand and measure the ESG characteristics of the total portfolio, and rank or screen funds based on a diverse set of ESG exposure categories.​ The data provides insights across three dimensions: Sustainable Impact; to measure fund exposure to companies that address core environmental & social challenges. Values Alignment; to screen funds for investments that align with ethical, religious or political values. Risk; to understand fund exposure to ESG-related risks.​

SDG/Impact Data

This dataset aims to help steer capital towards companies that provide solutions to major social and environmental challenges. This data can be used as a stand-alone set of metrics or applied to more complex impact and sustainability frameworks, including the EU Taxonomy or assessment of alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
