In September 2020, LuxSE launched the LGX DataHub, a centralised database of structured sustainability data now covering 11,000 green, social, sustainability and sustainability-linked bonds listed worldwide. The LGX DataHub allows investors and asset managers to better understand and compare the environmental and social impact of different securities and thereby make more informed and sustainable investment decisions.  

In 2022, LuxSE entered into an MoU with UN Women to advance gender finance and has since flagged gender-focused bonds on LGX to make it easier for investors to identify debt instruments which contribute to women’s empowerment and gender equality objectives.

The information in this database is intended to inform investors and other stakeholders on the work stock exchanges are undertaking to advance sustainability in their respective markets.

The information provided in this database is based on publicly available information prepared by the SSE Secretariat with input from stock exchanges in most instances. Sources and explanatory notes on sustainability information have been included in individual Stock Exchange Fact Sheets. The criteria for each category can be found below.
