1
Choose a market
Before a green, social, sustainability or transition (use-of-proceeds) bond can be considered for display on the LGX Platform, you must first list the bond on our EU-regulated market (Bourse de Luxembourg) or our exchange-regulated market (Euro MTF) or register the bond without admission to trading via our Securities Official List (LuxSE SOL).
2
Classify your bond

Your bond must also be self-labelled as green, social, sustainability or transition and this must be specified in the legal documentation. The bond’s use of proceeds should be allocated to green, social, sustainability or transition projects as stated in the framework.

Our eligibility criteria are in line with internationally recognised sustainable bond standards, principles and guidelines such as the International Capital Market Association (ICMA)’s Green Bond Principles (ICMA GBP), Social Bond Principles (ICMA SBP), Sustainability Bond Guidelines (ICMA SBG) or its Climate Transition Bond Guidelines (ICMA CTBG).

3
Provide a pre-issuance external review
At the pre-issuance stage, we require you, as an issuer, to provide an external review (i.e., Second Party Opinion) of your framework or on your issuance. The external review must confirm alignment with recognised standards and principles.
4
Commitment to post-issuance reporting
Issuers with sustainable use-of-proceeds bonds displayed on the LGX Platform are required to produce a post-issuance allocation report and a new report is expected once per year until the maturity of the bond or at least until the full allocation of proceeds. In addition, we encourage you to disclose on the environmental or social impact of your bond.  

Bonds fulfilling the above criteria are automatically eligible to be displayed on the LGX Platform once properly evaluated by the LGX Team.
