MarketAxess Announces Success of “Trading for Trees” Program During Record Year for Green Bond Trading Activity - Seite 2

“We are delighted with the success of the Trading for Trees program,” said Chris Concannon, President and Chief Operating Officer at MarketAxess. “It shows that every small step we take to make trading ESG-linked instruments like green bonds easier and more effective can have a big impact in the real world. As demand for sustainable and green investment strategies increases, MarketAxess is committed to further developing the trading technologies and tools to support and incentivize them.”

The Trading for Trees incentive program continues in 2021, with 5 trees planted for every $1 million of green bond trading volume executed. In addition, MarketAxess will launch a series of events that will bring together firms most active in green bond trading on the platform. These forums will serve to draw on the expertise of traders and fund managers focused on sustainable investing to help further develop a strategic roadmap for ESG investing via the MarketAxess platform.
