united nations sustainable stock exchanges initiative
The SSE initiative is a UN Partnership Programme organised by UNCTAD, the UN
Global Compact, UNEP FI and the PRI. The SSE’s mission is to provide a global
platform for exploring how exchanges, in collaboration with investors, companies
(issuers), regulators, policymakers and relevant international organizations,
can enhance performance on ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance)
issues and encourage sustainable investment, including the financing of the UN
Sustainable Development Goals. The SSE seeks to achieve this mission through an
integrated programme of conducting evidence-based policy analysis, facilitating
a network and forum for multi-stakeholder consensus-building, and providing
technical assistance and advisory services.
