The Luxembourg Green Exchange (LGX) has presented a new universe dedicated to "social & sustainable" bonds.

After the successful launch of the LGX last September, the platform is now extended to the listing of "social & sustainable" bonds. With a growing interest in these instruments, the overall value of socially responsible investments now stands at over $ 23 billion.

This extension of the platform will allow issuers to increase the visibility of the social and sustainable projects they finance and to provide investors with all the information they need to make their investment decisions.

Through this extension of the platform, the Bourse wishes to show its commitment to social and sustainable projects, in addition to green projects, and help facilitate the financing of such initiatives.

"Since the launch of LGX, there has been a strong demand from both investors and issuers to expand the green bond market, solely related to the financing of climate actions and projects, to the" social bond " & Sustainable ", which encompasses more broadly the aspects of socially responsible investment," explains Robert Scharfe, CEO of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, on the 35th day of the stock market.

Socially responsible investments support a broader range of projects than green bonds and are likely to further expand the market. It is precisely for these same reasons that companies are more interested in issuing such instruments.
