Sustainable Finance Infrastructure

Standard activity IDs
for sustainable bonds

ACT-ID.io helps issuers, banks, SPO providers, investors, and vendors identify and compare the activities financed by labelled bonds.

Activity
Offshore wind electricity generation
ACT-A-7K4M2Q
Sector: Energy v1

Financed activities are described inconsistently

Across bond frameworks, SPO opinions, investor systems, and datasets, the same financed activity gets described in dozens of different ways.

"Offshore wind", "offshore wind generation", "offshore wind farm construction", "wind energy (offshore)" — all meaning the same thing, but written differently by every issuer, every SPO, and every data provider.

This inconsistency makes it harder to compare transactions, map frameworks to taxonomies, build reliable datasets, and report clearly to investors.

Comparing transactions is harder than it should be

Without a shared reference, every comparison requires manual interpretation.

Mapping to frameworks is manual and error-prone

SPOs, investors, and data vendors each build their own mapping tables.

Datasets are inconsistent at the source

The same transaction is classified differently across providers.

A shared way to identify financed activities

Act IDs give every participant in the bond market a single, stable reference for the activities financed by labelled bonds — regardless of how each party describes them internally.

🔗

One identifier per activity

Each financed activity gets a unique, stable Act ID. Use it in frameworks, opinions, investor systems, and datasets.

📋

Separate criteria from activities

The activity and the eligibility criteria that apply to it are tracked independently — giving clarity on what is being financed and under what conditions.

📊

Mappings are first-class objects

Relationships to taxonomies, frameworks, and classifications are tracked as citable records with full provenance — not buried in static tables.

One activity. One identifier. Used everywhere.

Three steps to clearer activity identification

1

Find the activity

Search the ACT-ID.io registry for the activity that matches what is being financed. Browse by sector or search by name.

2

Use the Act ID

Reference the Act ID in your bond framework, SPO annex, investor system, data feed, or reporting table.
