新加坡国立大学、北方信托和大华银行首次将绿色债券报告代币化

根据周一的一份声明，新加坡国立大学（NUS）与北方信托和大华银行合作，推出了一项市场首创的绿色债券报告代币化计划。

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.

正如周一在一份声明中宣布的那样，新加坡国立大学（NUS）与北方信托公司和大华银行合作，推出了一项史无前例的举措，将绿色债券报告代币化。

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.

该项目利用区块链技术提高环境、社会和治理（ESG）报告的透明度和问责制，标志着绿色金融发展的一个重要里程碑。

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.

该计划以 Northern Trust 的数字资产平台 Matrix Zenit 为中心，该平台将用于铸造和持有绿色债券报告代币。该代币将安全地封装 2023 年发行的新加坡国立大学第三只绿色债券的环境影响数据。

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.

这种代币化确保了债券的环境影响数据即使在债券交易时也保持可靠且不改变。公告称，作为新加坡国立大学绿色债券发行的牵头安排人，大华银行将在完善可持续发展报告实践中代币化数据的可用性方面发挥关键作用。

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.

该计划隶属于 Project Guardian，这是由新加坡金融管理局 (MAS) 领导的一项全球计划，旨在探索资产代币化的好处。具体来说，新加坡国立大学绿色债券报告代币是该项目固定收益工作流程的一部分，旨在为绿色金融的透明度和合规性设定新基准。

"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.”

新加坡国立大学高级副总裁兼首席财务官 Tan Kian Woo 表示：“通过创建一种增强环境数据完整性和透明度的代币，我们的目标是为投资者提供更大的信心，帮助他们实现可持续发展报告目标。” “这只是一个开始，我们将继续突破可持续金融实践的界限。”

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.

新加坡国立大学和北方信托公司之间的合作将通过 2024 年 11 月签署的为期三年的谅解备忘录 (MoU) 得到进一步扩展。该合作伙伴关系将涉及促进 ESG 金融领域的前沿研究，并探索区块链技术在可持续金融领域的新应用做法。
