About us - Who we are

LSFI – Luxembourg Sustainable Finance Initiative

A public-private association promoting sustainable finance in Luxembourg and abroad.

About Us

The Luxembourg Sustainable Finance Initiative (LSFI) is a not-for-profit association that designs and implements the Sustainable Finance Strategy for the Luxembourg financial centre. Our objective is to raise awareness, promote and help develop sustainable finance initiatives in Luxembourg.

The LSFI was founded in January 2020 by the Luxembourg Government, Luxembourg for Finance (the agency for the development of the financial centre) and the High Council for Sustainable Development (Conseil Supérieur du Développement Durable), an independent advisory body to the Luxembourg Government about sustainable development matters that represents the civil society.

The idea of creating an association which would promote sustainable finance in Luxembourg dates back to 2018 when the Luxembourg Government published, in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Program, the Luxembourg Sustainable Finance Roadmap. One of the main recommendations of the Roadmap was to create a Sustainable Finance Initiative.

As a consequence, in its 2018-2023 Coalition Agreement, the Luxembourg Government announced the set-up of the Luxembourg Sustainable Finance Initiative which would gather relevant stakeholders of the sustainable finance sector. The initiative would be co-chaired by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Environment, Climate and Sustainable Development.
