Business Wire
Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), a leading global
provider of data, technology and market infrastructure, today
released the company’s sixth annual Corporate Responsibility
Report.
The report summarizes environmental, social and governance (ESG)
highlights from 2020 and provides an update on the range of ICE’s
ESG policies and metrics. This report also marks the first time
that ICE worked with a third-party consultant to conduct a formal
materiality analysis and solicited feedback from the company’s
employees, customers, investors, suppliers, and communities to
better understand what they view as ICE’s substantive ESG risks and
opportunities.
“ICE’s commitment to corporate responsibility underpins the work
we do across our businesses,” said Jeffrey Sprecher, Chairman and
CEO of the Intercontinental Exchange. “While the way we approach,
manage and engage with our stakeholders on ESG matters has evolved
since our founding over two decades ago, we remain steadfast in our
commitment to transparency and providing our customers with
solutions and products to manage their risks and
opportunities.”
Highlights of this year’s report include:
- ICE supplemented its reporting with three additional
sustainability disclosures, including the Sustainable Accounting
Standards Board (SASB) metrics for the exchange sector, Taskforce
for Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) aligned reporting,
and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
- ICE published its greenhouse gas emissions, including full
Scope 1 and 2 emissions. It also began reporting Scope 3 emissions.
With this baseline established, ICE intends to work actively to set
reduction targets and share its plans publicly next year. ICE
continues to purchase verified carbon offsets and renewable energy
certificates for all emissions it can credibly calculate.
- ICE introduced new diversity disclosures for its employees and
board members.
- ICE’s exchange products offer markets price discovery and
transparency in creating a price for carbon across its
environmentals complex.
- ICE introduced its ESG reference data and expanded its
municipal bond climate risk data, which provides detailed ESG
attributes and indicators for thousands of publicly traded
companies in the U.S. and Europe and risk data through geospatial
climate, economic and demographic data for municipalities and
securities, respectively.
- The NYSE continues to provide listed companies with best
practices for sustainability reporting and navigating ESG
disclosure, including publication of NYSE ESG reporting guidance
and provision of a platform containing as-reported ESG data for
companies to benchmark their disclosures versus peers.
- The NYSE Board Advisory Council grew its pool of CEO-vetted,
board-ready candidates for management teams by 79%.
