The meeting place for sustainable finance

The Luxembourg Stock Exchange established LGX in 2016 to promote the sustainable finance agenda and help reorient capital flows into sustainable investment projects. LGX started as a platform for green bonds and soon expanded to include social and sustainability bonds. In 2018, the scope of LGX was increased to include socially responsible investment funds, reflecting an uptick in investor demand for investments with a positive social or environmental impact. Today, LGX is the world’s leading platform exclusively dedicated to sustainable finance instruments and counts around 730 sustainable securities representing a total value of EUR 280 billion.
