Key Sustainable Finance Solutions

The London Stock Exchange is a strategic enabler of sustainable growth.

Green Economy Mark

The Green Economy Mark recognises companies and funds that derive 50% or more of their revenues from products and services that are contributing to meeting global environmental objectives, such as climate change mitigation and adaptation, waste and pollution reduction, and the circular economy.

Use our Green Economy Mark to position your company or fund as a contributor to the global growth of the green economy and raise your profile with sustainability-focused investors.

Sustainable Bond Market

As sustainable bond issuance becomes a standard part of debt capital raising, companies, sovereigns, and governments are issuing more bonds on the Sustainable Bond Market. London Stock Exchange’s dedicated Sustainable Bond Market champions innovative issuers of sustainable bonds.

Voluntary Carbon Market

We continue to lead the market with world-first product innovations and are proud to be the first exchange to establish a Voluntary Carbon Market designation that uses a public market framework to facilitate the financing of much needed climate change mitigation projects. This is another positive step in the continued work towards a just transition to net zero.

Low Carbon Transition and Climate Reporting

Investors are increasingly choosing to allocate capital to companies with clear frameworks for managing climate-related risks and opportunities to ensure their portfolios are climate resilient. Companies with carbon-intensive operating models must deliver credible transition plans to future proof their businesses for a net zero future. Access the tools, resources and education to support your company on the transition to low carbon.

Short-term sustainable funding

Our partnership with Treasury Spring provides companies access to short-term sustainable funding options through a simple digital platform. Investment-grade companies can gain easy access to a new investor base and achieve a better cost of funding.
