LGX sustainable securities at a glance
Green, social & sustainability bonds
What started as a platform exclusively dedicated to green bonds has now expanded to include the complete catalogue of use-of-proceeds bonds that finance projects with green and/or social benefit(s).
Sustainability-linked bonds
Beyond the traditional use-of-proceeds bond sphere, LGX also offers a section dedicated to sustainability-linked bonds, where issuers commit to future sustainability targets, measured by key performance indicators within a set timeframe.
LGX funds
LGX is the only platform that displays LGX funds classified as Article 8 or Article 9 funds under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). These funds are automatically eligible to be displayed on LGX, once listed on LuxSE.
