LuxFLAG Sustainable Investment Week 2023

The LuxFLAG Sustainable Investment Week is an annual conference featuring a series of standalone events that explore various facets of sustainable finance. Topics covered include climate finance, ESG, impact investing, regulatory matters in sustainable finance, gender finance, diversity, human rights, and more.

In its 5th edition, LSIW23 continued to showcase LuxFLAG members’ commitment and tangible actions in sustainable finance. Participants shared their insights with the sustainable investment community both within and beyond Luxembourg. The event is well-regarded for its dedication to promoting sustainable finance and cultivating responsible investment practices. LSIW23 successfully brought together industry experts, pioneers, and advocates to discuss the latest trends, insights, and best practices in the field.

As a pioneer in sustainable finance in Luxembourg, LuxFLAG’s LSIWs have consistently been « Green Events » with eco-friendly commitments and measures. However, this year marked a significant milestone as our conference obtained the Green Business Events logo, acknowledging our event’s meticulous adherence to eco-responsible criteria.

LuxFLAG’s commitment to sustainability is further reinforced by this certification, underscoring our dedication to making a positive impact on the environment. We take pride in contributing to the green movement and setting an example in our industry.

Obtaining the logo involved careful consideration of various factors. Our choice of service providers, particularly catering, was made with a focus on selecting partners who align with our ecological values. The event featured a range of dietary options, including vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free choices with an emphasis on locally sourced food and beverages, prioritizing organic and fair-trade products.

In terms of waste management, we prioritized the use of environmentally friendly and reusable materials whenever possible. Waste sorting was implemented throughout the event.

While the logo granting procedure was comprehensive and demanding, the effort was undoubtedly worthwhile. The detailed questionnaire prompted us to thoroughly assess our environmental impact and implement measures to enhance it.
