SSE joins World Investor Week
16 October 2020
SSE and Green Finance
SSE has a Green Finance workstream which developed a guidance document with the inputs of over 70 experts from around the world and includes practical examples from more than a dozen stock exchanges. The SSE Guidance Document – How Stock Exchanges can Grow Green Finance found that the growth of green finance depends on both promoting green finance products as well as greening mainstream financial markets. In alignment with the SSE’s Voluntary Action Plan, the SSE tracks a number of sustainability activities that can help stock exchanges to grow green finance in their market. This includes the presence of products such as sustainability bond segments or ESG indices and mainstreaming green through the inclusion of ESG requirements into listing requirements.WIW -Potencial dos títulos temáticos para promover investimentos sustentáveis no contexto do COVID19
About the SSE
The SSE initiative is a UN Partnership Programme organised by UNCTAD, the UN Global Compact, UNEP FI and the PRI. The SSE’s mission is to provide a global platform for exploring how exchanges, in collaboration with investors, companies (issuers), regulators, policymakers and relevant international organizations, can enhance performance on ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance) issues and encourage sustainable investment, including the financing of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The SSE seeks to achieve this mission through an integrated programme of conducting evidence-based policy analysis, facilitating a network and forum for multi-stakeholder consensus-building, and providing technical assistance and advisory services.
