UN SSE Official Supporters Programme
The UN Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) initiative works with exchanges, regulators, investors, companies and other market participants to turn global sustainability priorities into practical action. Official Supporters help the SSE expand this work while engaging with a trusted global network focused on more transparent, resilient and sustainable capital markets.
Why support the SSE?
Collective action can move markets
Stock exchanges and other market institutions are being asked to respond to fast-moving sustainability standards, investor expectations and real-economy risks. They need practical guidance, credible data, trusted dialogue and capacity building that can be adapted to different markets.
The SSE brings together the convening authority of the United Nations, a global network of exchanges and regulators, applied research, market guidance and a proven training platform. Supporter contributions help make these resources available across markets, including where capacity and funding gaps are greatest.
What your support makes possible
Practical guidance
Develop model guidance, toolkits and implementation resources that exchanges and market participants can apply in practice.
Capacity building
Deliver SSE Academy programmes and targeted technical assistance for exchange staff, companies, investors and other market participants.
Research and data
Produce Market Monitors, policy analysis and data initiatives that identify progress, gaps and emerging priorities.
Global dialogue

Frequently asked questions
About the Official Supporters Programme
What is the difference between a Partner Exchange and an Official Supporter?
A Partner Exchange participates in the SSE exchange network. An Official Supporter makes an annual financial contribution and engages through an annual supporter workplan. An eligible exchange may be both, but the two relationships are separate.
Are all benefits guaranteed?
The contribution level establishes the scope of the relationship, but individual activities depend on relevance, availability, due diligence, speaker suitability and the annual workplan.
Can we support a specific topic or region?
Yes. A Project Partnership may be developed around a selected topic, region or workstream where there is a clear fit with SSE priorities and available delivery capacity.
Can we use the UN SSE name or logo?
Yes, Official Supporters may use the UN SSE name and logo in non-commercial communications, such as sustainability or annual reports, solely to identify their status as an SSE Official Supporter. Use must not imply endorsement by the UN SSE or of the United Nations. Additional terms may apply, so please consult the SSE secretariat prior to use.
How long does participation last?
Annual supporter levels are approved for a minimum of one year and then automatically renew at the same level each year. Supporters can cancel or change their supporter level at any time to take effect in the following fiscal year.
How do we begin?
Use the Become a Supporter button or contact [email protected]. The SSE team will arrange an initial alignment discussion.
Project Partnerships
Support a defined programme or workstream
Organizations may also work with the SSE on a time-bound project aligned with shared priorities. Project Partnerships can support research, market guidance, training, data initiatives, technical assistance or global and regional dialogues. Each Project Partnership is developed around clear objectives, outputs, governance, funding and impact measures. Project support does not affect the independence of SSE methodologies, analysis, findings or policy positions.
