Robeco Launches First Fixed Income Active ETF Focused on Climate Transition

Robeco has expanded its active ETF lineup with the debut of its Climate Euro Government Bond ETF, marking its first fixed income offering in the space. The fund provides targeted exposure to euro government bonds through a climate transition-focused strategy and listed on Euronext Amsterdam.

The launch underscores the critical role governments play in climate action through policy frameworks, fiscal measures, and sustainable investments. Robeco collaborated with FTSE and ING to develop a proprietary methodology scoring countries on emission targets, climate policies, and decarbonization evidence.

The assessment framework draws from the ASCOR tool, evaluating three key pillars: ambition of decarbonization targets, strength of climate policies, and tangible evidence of emissions reduction trends. This systematic approach aims to identify leaders in the transition to a low-carbon economy.
