新加坡國立大學、北方信託和大華銀行首次將綠色債券報告代幣化

根據週一的聲明，新加坡國立大學（NUS）與北方信託和大華銀行合作，推出了一項市場首創的綠色債券報告代幣化計畫。

Singapore's National University of Singapore (NUS) has teamed up with Northern Trust and UOB to launch a first-of-its-kind initiative to tokenize green bond reporting, as announced in a statement on Monday.

正如周一在一份聲明中宣布的那樣，新加坡國立大學（NUS）與北方信託公司和大華銀行合作，推出了一項史無前例的舉措，將綠色債券報告代幣化。

This project leverages blockchain technology to enhance transparency and accountability in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of green finance.

該專案利用區塊鏈技術提高環境、社會和治理（ESG）報告的透明度和問責制，標誌著綠色金融發展的一個重要里程碑。

The initiative centers around Northern Trust's digital assets platform, Matrix Zenit, which will be used to mint and hold a green bond reporting token. The token will securely encapsulate the environmental impact data from NUS' third green bond, issued in 2023.

該計劃以 Northern Trust 的數位資產平台 Matrix Zenit 為中心，該平台將用於鑄造和持有綠色債券報告代幣。該代幣將安全地封裝 2023 年發行的新加坡國立大學第三隻綠色債券的環境影響數據。

This tokenization ensures that the bond's environmental impact data remains reliable and unaltered, even as the bond is traded. UOB, being the lead arranger for NUS' green bond issuance, will play a key role in refining the usability of tokenized data for sustainability reporting practices, according to the announcement.

這種代幣化確保了債券的環境影響數據即使在債券交易時也保持可靠且不改變。公告稱，作為新加坡國立大學綠色債券發行的領導安排人，大華銀行將在完善永續發展報告實踐中代幣化數據的可用性方面發揮關鍵作用。

The initiative falls under Project Guardian, a global program led by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to explore the benefits of asset tokenisation. Specifically, the NUS green bond reporting token is part of the fixed income workstream of the project, aiming to set new benchmarks for transparency and compliance in green finance.

該計劃隸屬於 Project Guardian，這是由新加坡金融管理局 (MAS) 領導的全球計劃，旨在探索資產代幣化的好處。具體來說，新加坡國立大學綠色債券報告代幣是該計畫固定收益工作流程的一部分，旨在為綠色金融的透明度和合規性設定新基準。

"By creating a token that enhances the integrity and transparency of our environmental data, we aim to provide greater confidence to investors, helping them meet their sustainability reporting goals," said Tan Kian Woo, senior vice president and chief finance officer at NUS. “This is only the beginning, as we continue to push boundaries in sustainable financial practices.”

新加坡國立大學高級副總裁兼財務長Tan Kian Woo 表示：「透過創建一種增強環境數據完整性和透明度的代幣，我們的目標是為投資者提供更大的信心，幫助他們實現永續發展報告目標。 “這只是一個開始，我們將繼續突破可持續金融實踐的界限。”

The collaboration between NUS and Northern Trust will be further extended through a three-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), signed in November 2024. This partnership will involve fostering cutting-edge research in ESG finance and exploring new applications for blockchain technology in sustainable financial practices.

新加坡國立大學和北方信託公司之間的合作將透過2024 年11 月簽署的為期三年的諒解備忘錄(MoU) 得到進一步擴展。鏈技術在永續金融領域的新應用做法。
