Intercontinental Exchange announced a strategic collaboration to enhance transparency and consistency in the global sustainable bonds market with the Climate Bonds Initiative, a leading international organization providing the global standard for certification in the sustainable bonds market.

ICE also plans to integrate CBI alignment indicators into its sustainable bond solutions, strengthening the insights available to market participants. "This collaboration is an important step in the evolution of our data and analysis.
