Spuerkeess and Greenomy collaborate in enabling Luxembourg corporates to report and improve their sustainability

Spuerkeess, Luxembourg’s State bank, is working with Greenomy, a sustainable finance market infrastructure, to deliver sustainability reporting services to its Luxembourg-based corporate customers and measure its Green Asset Ratio as a bank. This will enable Spuerkeess’ corporate customers to easily perform their reporting according to the new Sustainable Finance regulations, such as the EU Taxonomy and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), as well as identify improvements in their overall sustainability and access the required financing.

Spuerkeess and Greenomy collaborate in enabling Luxembourg corporates to report and improve their sustainability

Spuerkeess is the latest credit institution to join Greenomy’s market infrastructure for sustainable finance. New EU Sustainable Finance rules such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive make it mandatory for companies and financial institutions to report on their sustainability, requiring new processes and resources to ensure compliance. 

Spuerkeess’ corporate clients will now be provided with an end-to-end solution to easily prepare their sustainability reporting. Luxembourg corporations will be able to screen their economic activities, measure their alignment with the EU Taxonomy by Turnover, CapEx, and OpEx, and disclose their CSRD report. Facilitating the reporting process, corporations will be able to improve their access to green financing. 

With the collected data, Spuerkeess will in turn be able to screen the Green Asset Ratio (GAR) and Banking-Book-Taxonomy- Alignment Ratio (BTAR) of its loan books in compliance with EU Taxonomy rules, empowering itself to direct its lending activities towards sustainable projects and accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy in line with the EU Green Deal. Rudi Belli, Head of Sustainability at Spuerkeess comments: “The transition to a more sustainable economy is the challenge of the decade, Spuerkeess and Greenomy’s collaboration will help Luxembourg-based businesses transition to net zero. By connecting to the Greenomy infrastructure, we have not only simplified our task as a bank to comply with the new Sustainable Finance regulations but also improved our customers’ access to green financing.”

Alain Mestat, Head of Luxembourg at Greenomy adds: “By working with Spuerkeess, Luxembourg’s State Bank, Greenomy is able to strengthen its position as the premier solution for sustainability reporting, helping Luxembourg-based corporations measure their sustainability, mitigate climate risk and access capital for sustainability improvements. We are grateful for Spuerkeess' long-standing trust and look forward to helping them further their leadership in sustainable finance.”
