Why and how we build our ESG+ debt module
Debt market transformation is increasingly in demand for the financial industry. From the client meetings and events we attend regularly, it is clear that all market participants realize the need for inevitable transformations such as digitalization and ESG.
That’s why we launched the ESG+ debt module on our OTC platform. Our goal is to help all debt market players address their most pressing and recognized ESG needs.
What we learned from the AFTE fair and the impact on Onbrane
After 2 fantastic days spent with the French treasurers at Les Journees de l’AFTE, it is now time to think back so we can quickly put all of what we’ve learned into action. The event once again highlighted the importance of Onbrane in the market transformation.
EU Securitisation Regulation – What are the lessons learned from the reform?
On January 1, 2019, the Securitization Regulation (SECR) went to effect, which was the long-awaited reform for the European asset-backed debt markets. Indeed, this reform was to bring a clear, more accessible and standardized regulation (the simple transparent and standardised securitisation or “STS”) for the implementation of financial products from securitization, in order to be modernized and to attract interest from new actors (issuers, investors) for these financial products.
Unfortunately, almost 3 years later, market participants interviewed by AFME (Association for Financial Markets in Europe) on the effects of this reform are bitter. The structural problems persist, with the European market still lagging far behind in its development compared to the American market for asset-backed financial instruments.
These same problems had been brought to the attention of Onbrane, which wants to offer a tool that responds to some of the pain points highlighted in its asset-backed framework module.
Domain-Driven Design at Onbrane
Domain-Driven Design is an approach to software development focusing on simplification and rigorous integration of the software code with the business domain. Onbrane developers have embraced DDD for its ability to solve complex domain logic and for its clarity from code to language.
Onbrane offers different levels of onboarding, from simple negotiation tools to a fully digitized process.
How Engie onboarded Onbrane to negotiate commercial papers
Engie will remain for Onbrane the first issuer of NEU CP that will have completed a whole transaction on the platform from negotiating through its trading floor to post-trade processes such as ISIN retrieval and descent into the back-office systems. In addition, authentication management was also directly managed by Engie via their SAML.
Onbrane offers different levels of onboarding, from simple negotiation tools to a fully digitized process.
Engie’s onboarding has been progressive, each level of onboarding having been validated and pursued with further integration until arriving today at optimal use of Onbrane.
I would like to describe the different steps here and share with you testimonies!
Let’s go!

The ESG benefits for treasurers
The impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations on the treasury’s functions can no longer be ignored, as the treasurer’s main responsibilities become inevitably linked to ESG objectives. Today, many treasurers are integrating ESG into their debt financing processes to complement financial performance analysis. This transformation is gaining momentum.
