Ludovine Alexandra Tarsia, Associate Director, Sustainability Solutions Products

ESG Investing Awards 2026: Interview – ISS STOXX

The Sustainability Bond Rating from ISS STOXX offers investors a new level of transparency and accountability to the labelled bond market. While traditional ESG ratings focus on issuer-level performance, this innovation shifts the lens to issuance-specific evaluation, addressing a critical gap for investors seeking to validate the integrity of green, social, sustainability,
and sustainability-linked bonds.

Judges for the ESG Investing Awards 2026 said, “ISS STOXX has developed a genuinely innovative product with a tangible relevance and value to investors who demand quantifiable insights into sustainability bond credentials, risk and impact”.

ISS STOXX was awarded ‘Most Innovative ESG Product’ at the ESG Investing Awards 2026.
