Business impact (Why?)

With the addition of these carbon footprint metrics for sovereign bonds, clients will now gain a more comprehensive view of the environmental impact of their investments, including both imported and production-related emissions. This enhanced visibility helps aligning portfolios with climate-related goals and regulations.

To enhance async API performance and ensure seamless integration when new metrics are added, this update will now require specifying the metricIds parameter to retrieve desired metrics. This improvement not only streamlines the process but also enhances the overall efficiency and reliability of our async APIs, namely:

• POST /clarity/v1/public/securities/climate/carbon-footprint/metric-by-id/async
• POST /clarity/v1/public/funds/climate/carbon-footprint/metric-by-id/async
• POST /clarity/v1/public/organizations/climate/carbon-footprint/metric-by-id/async
