LuxFLAG, the Luxembourg Finance Labelling Agency, is an independent and international, non-profit, organization created in Luxembourg, in July 2006, jointly by public and private partners.
LuxFLAG aims to promote the raising of capital for the Sustainable Finance sector by awarding a recognizable label to eligible investment vehicles in Climate Finance, ESG (Environment, Social, and Governance), and Environment, Microfinance, and Green bonds. The LuxFLAG Labels are recognized for their high standards and rigorous assessment of applicant investment Vehicles’s investment holdings, strategy and procedures with respect to ESG matters as well as an affirmation of their transparency to investors – which are key components of the eligibility criteria for the LuxFLAG labels.
