Working group
Sustainable Finance
The main purpose of the Sustainable Finance Working Group is to identify opportunities and promote sustainable finance from a capital markets perspective, supporting the development and growth of sustainable finance in Luxembourg and abroad.
Sustainable Finance is front and center for capital markets’ players considerations. Be it because of recent regulatory evolutions and requirements, or more broadly as a societal matter that imposes itself to the entire financial services industry.
It is essential for LuxCMA and the Sustainable Finance WG to contribute to a good understanding of these new imperatives by its members, participate to regulatory consultations, and sharing back best market practices as well as obstacles and practical solutions in this context.
Active contribution of members to regular industry meetings, specific focus events, consultation papers and continuously updated FAQs, allow for an increased and efficient footprint of LuxCMA in the Luxembourg and European Sustainable Finance realm.
