This report was developed by the United Nations Sustainable Stock Exchanges (UN SSE) initiative in partnership with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and with the support of the Government of Luxembourg.

This Market Monitor contributes to a joint UN SSE–IFC research programme, undertaken in strategic collaboration with UN Women. It reviews good practices implemented by seven stock exchanges across different regions and market contexts who are respective leaders in the market according to corporate board gender diversity: the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), Bursa Malaysia, Borsa İstanbul, Euronext Paris, Japan Exchange Group (JPX), Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), and Latinex (Panama).

Drawing on desk-based research and structured inputs from participating exchanges, the analysis maps observed practices against the recommendations of the “Gender Equality Action Plan for Exchanges” published by the UN SSE, in collaboration with the IFC and UN Women.

Stock exchanges are invited to contact the SSE for further discussions or any questions about this report.
