The London Stock Exchange’s Issuer Services platform offers issuers access to the TreasurySpring platform, unlocking opportunities to manage their funding needs in an innovative and sustainable way. 

1. Sign a simple, short-form unsecured facility agreement via the TreasurySpring platform.
2. Specify the desired amount, term, currency and rate of financing.
3. Go live on the TreasurySpring platform, enabling investors to view the offering.
4. Receive funds when interested investors subscribe.

The London Stock Exchange will provide an accreditation to recognise sustainable issuers through the TreasurySpring platform. This will utilise LSEG’s ESG data and methodology to identify companies that meet certain ESG metrics or are contributing to the green and sustainable economy through their business activity and funding frameworks. 

To be considered a “Sustainable Issuer”, an issuer must meet at least one of the following criteria:

• Have a Refinitiv ESG score of at least B+, meaning that it ranks in the top third of its peer group. ESG scores are provided by Refinitiv, an LSEG business. 
• Qualify for London Stock Exchange’s Green Economy Mark, i.e. issuers listed on its equity markets derive at least 50% of their revenues from green products and services, as defined by FTSE Russell’s Green Revenues Classification System
• Display its securities on the Sustainable Bond Market, with its published ESG framework aligning with:
  • the ICMA Green Bond Principles 2021,
  • the Social Bond Principles 2021, and/or
  • the Sustainability-Linked Bond Principles 2020.

Each of the above requires a firm to have implemented a sustainability strategy at issuer level.

TreasurySpring’s FTFs are financial products that offer exposure to debt from a single investment grade issuer, for a fixed term.

FTFs can provide access to highly-rated financial institutions, sovereigns, supranationals or corporations. 

All issuance vehicles on the TreasurySpring platform are regulated by the Jersey Financial Services Commission as alternative investment funds pursuant to the Alternative Investment Funds (Jersey) Regulations 2012.
