Powerful combination of technology and services will enable decisive sustainability action for customers globally

LONDON, May 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — IFS, the leading technology provider of cloud and industrial AI software, and professional services firm PwC*, a recognized Global Leader in ESG and Sustainability, have announced a collaboration to bring to market a Sustainability Management Solution that will include vital technology and services to support compliance with sustainability disclosure requirements and embedding sustainable practices into business operations, including for multi-national organisations.

The initiative will see IFS develop a Sustainability Management module within IFS Cloud. PwC will contribute its expertise in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria and the ever-evolving regulatory landscape to assist in the design and build.

Once completed, the solution will help IFS customers navigate the new requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and other emerging mainstream global regulatory standards that our customers are facing.

To ensure a seamless journey from start to finish, customers using IFS Cloud can enlist the services of PwC to guide on the wide range of issues facing our customers in relation to this critical aspect of governance, along with mandatory strategic ESG tasks like conducting a double materiality assessment and offering guidance for CSRD readiness.

The module will boast key features such as out-of-the-box CSRD metrics, select IFS Cloud data mapping, approval workflows, target setting, and insights. It will deliver a library of KPIs, including quantitative metrics with calculation logic, all supported by PwC’s ESG experts to ensure credibility. The tool is designed to support customers as they navigate the sustainability disclosure landscape, while helping them remain focused on delivering real business value through identifying opportunities to transition to more sustainable and productive ways of operating.

Mark Moffat, IFS CEO commented: “This strategic coalition between IFS and PwC is not just a technological advantage; it is a commitment to shaping a sustainable and transparent ecosystem. By equipping customers with the necessary tools and data, we are together enabling decisive sustainability action and ensuring we maintain the highest standards in sustainability disclosures.”

Carl Sizer, PwC UK Management Board Member and ESG Sponsor, commented: “We’re thrilled to collaborate with IFS in developing the Sustainability Management module within IFS Cloud. Our expertise in ESG criteria and knowledge of the regulatory landscape will enable us to provide valuable guidance and support in designing a solution that empowers organisations to effectively manage their sustainability initiatives and navigate the evolving regulatory landscape.”

The first version of the Sustainability Management Module is set to launch in the IFS Cloud 24R2 release at the end of November; it is currently under development and will be a cornerstone of this partnership. Alongside the IFS Cloud Sustainability Management module, PwC UK will provide the required services for companies to be compliant for their first CSRD reporting cycle in 2025.

BingX Introduces ALTCOIN Index Futures Trading: One Click, Countless Trends

Published

on

By

VILNIUS, Lithuania, Dec. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — BingX, a global leading cryptocurrency exchange, is excited to announce the launch of ALTCOIN Index, the first futures trading pair involving top altcoins. This innovative trading product offers users a one-click solution to efficiently track and trade major cryptocurrency trends with ease.

Traditionally used in stock markets, a futures index is a financial derivative that tracks the performance of a group of assets, such as stocks of commodities. These instruments were first introduced to simplify trading by allowing investors to speculate on or hedge against the collective movements of selected market sectors. Instead of purchasing individual stocks, traders are able to access broad market exposure in a single transaction, saving time and reducing costs.

In the cryptocurrency market, this new ALTCOIN/USDT futures trading pair works similarly by bundling the performance of the top mainstream cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, excluding Bitcoin (BTC) and stablecoins. The current index includes ETH, XRP, SOL, BNB, DOGE, ADA, TRX, AVAX, and SHIB. This approach is more efficient compared to buying individual cryptocurrencies or ETFs as this allows for direct speculation using tiered leverage options without the need to manage multiple positions, effectively diversifying trading risks associated with individual asset volatility.

Vivien Lin, Chief Product Officer of BingX, commented on the new offering: “By aggregating a range of leading cryptocurrencies into a single trading instrument, we’re giving users a practical and efficient way to better capture market trends. This index trading pair should help our less experienced users with their trading goals more easily, particularly when they are unsure which asset to trade and just want to trade major altcoins in general with leverage.”

BingX users can take advantage of tiered leverage options and competitive rates consistent with the platform’s perpetual futures terms, simplifying open order management and enhancing trading efficiency. The platform also ensures that the index composition remains current, with regular quarterly adjustments and temporary updates in response to market conditions.

About BingX
Founded in 2018, BingX is a leading crypto exchange, serving over 10 million users worldwide. BingX offers diversified products and services, including spot, derivatives, copy trading, and asset management – all designed for the evolving needs of users, from beginners to professionals. BingX is committed to providing a trustworthy platform that empowers users with innovative tools and features to elevate their trading proficiency. In 2024, BingX proudly became the official crypto exchange partner of Chelsea Football Club, marking an exciting debut in the world of sports.
