For Issuers

One project list. Every stakeholder's taxonomy.

Describe your financed projects once, anchored to ACT-IDs, and show each stakeholder where those projects stand in the taxonomy they care about — an ICMA GBP framework for the market, EU Taxonomy detail under the EU Green Bond Standard, local-taxonomy views for domestic regulators.

Why issuers use Act IDs

When you describe a financed activity in your framework, you are communicating with banks, SPO providers, investors, and regulators — each of whom needs to read that activity against a different taxonomy: an ICMA GBP-style framework for the market, EU Taxonomy detail for the EU Green Bond Standard, a local taxonomy for a domestic regulator.

By referencing an Act ID alongside your description, you tag each project once and give every reader a stable point of reference that resolves into the taxonomy they report under — without you re-describing the same activity for each audience.

Frameworks and eligible categories

Reference Act IDs in your eligible use of proceeds section to anchor each activity to a standard identifier. Your own language and descriptions still apply — the Act ID simply adds a shared reference that others can use to compare, map, and classify.

Allocation reporting

Include Act IDs in allocation reports to make it straightforward for investors and data vendors to tag holdings and compare your allocation to other issuers financing similar activities.

Impact reporting

Reference Act IDs in impact reports alongside your impact indicators. This links your reported impacts to a known activity reference — making aggregation and comparison across issuers easier.

Market communication

Including Act IDs in your documentation signals to the market that you are participating in shared infrastructure for sustainable finance — a signal of seriousness and transparency.

You're speaking the same language as the rest of the chain

When you list ACT-Us in your bond framework, you are using the same identifiers that arranging banks tag against loans in their sustainable-finance books, that SPO providers reference in opinions, and that bond investors aggregate in their portfolio-level reporting.

That means: no bespoke SPO mapping for your framework; no manual reconciliation between what your bookrunner books and what your investors see; and no rewrite when your framework is picked up by a data vendor. The ACT-U is the lingua franca — your allocation list composes into every consumer's view by default.
