Financial data provider Bloomberg and technology-led benchmark provider General Index (GX) have collaborated to grant Bloomberg Terminal’s users access to over 200 voluntary carbon price indices.
Bllomberg Terminal provides real-time access to news, data, insights and trading tools. According to the providers, this collaboration enhances transparency in voluntary carbon markets (VCM), a space increasingly influenced by global climate policies and investor demand for sustainability insights.
The expanded dataset, available through the Bloomberg Terminal’s Commodity Spot Prices (Spot), includes 69 spot prices and 133 spread and rolling average price indexes. These assessments offer granular pricing insights based on trade input data, categorised by risk ratings, carbon credit schemes, technology, vintage, and geography.
The initiative aims to provide market participants with a clearer view of VCM pricing trends. Emilie Gallagher, global head of commodities, FX, and macroeconomics at Bloomberg, commented: “Increased volatility due to macro and geopolitical events will continue to drive investor demand for commodities price transparency and market intelligence, particularly focused on evolving markets like voluntary carbon. Bloomberg has been covering carbon markets for over a decade, and we’re very pleased to continue our strategic collaboration with General Index to provide Bloomberg Terminal customers with access to voluntary carbon market information.”
GX’s voluntary carbon benchmarks aggregate trade data to generate transparent ‘price baskets,’ helping investors navigate carbon pricing more effectively. The Spot data reflects evolving trading patterns and established commodity pricing points, offering users a reliable data source for their carbon market exposure. GX data is also accessible via Bloomberg Data License and the real-time market data feed, B-PIPE.
Diane Charnock, vice president of corporate development at GX, commented: “At General Index, we are committed to bringing greater transparency and accessibility to emerging commodity markets. By expanding our strategic collaboration with Bloomberg, we are ensuring that market participants have access to high-quality, data-led price assessments that provide insights into this evolving space. With over 200 voluntary carbon price indexes now available on the Bloomberg Terminal, users can navigate these markets with confidence and precision.”
