NYSE Euronext Joins The UN Sustainable Stock Exchange Initiative

Business Wire
NYSE Euronext today announced that it has joined the United
Nations’ Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) initiative, which aims
to explore how exchanges can work together with investors,
regulators, and companies to enhance corporate transparency on
Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) issues and
encourage responsible long-term approaches to investment.
“As the only carbon neutral global exchange group, we are proud
to join the SSE initiative and partner with the UN and our industry
to support best practices in corporate governance and transparency
related to corporate sustainability,” said Duncan L. Niederauer,
CEO of NYSE Euronext. “We lead by example by running our business
in an environmentally responsible manner, and by leveraging the
unique power of our platform and our NYSE Euronext community, we
empower learning and collaboration within the broader corporate
sector.”
This commitment further demonstrates NYSE Euronext’s leadership
in this arena. In 2012, NYSE Euronext achieved carbon-neutral
status for the third year in a row, again making it the only global
exchange operator to do so. In the same year, the company was also
named to CDP’s S&P 500 Carbon Performance Leadership Index and
received a Green Power Leadership Award from the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). For a number of years, the company has
also been named to several key sustainability indices, including
CDP's S&P 500 Disclosure Leadership Index, the Dow Jones
Sustainability Index and FTSE4Good, and is a member of the EPA’s
Green Power Partnership.
As a global exchange group home to the world’s leading
companies, NYSE Euronext’s leadership in Corporate Responsibility
and Sustainability serves as a resource to its global community of
listed companies and stakeholders in their sustainability efforts.
NYSE-Listed companies make up 87% of both CDP's S&P 500
Disclosure Leadership Index and the Dow Jones Sustainability Index.
To further support its global community, in partnership with
leading organizations such as the CDP and Global Reporting
Initiative (GRI), each year NYSE Euronext hosts workshops and
forums that bring together sustainability executives from various
companies to share ideas on best practices to mitigate their
organization's environmental impacts.
To commemorate this occasion, today NYSE Euronext will host an
event where senior executives from NYSE-Listed companies and
sustainability professionals will join leaders from the United
Nations’, academia and non-profit organizations at the New York
Stock Exchange (NYSE) to discuss best practices in promoting
sustainability within our capital markets. Remarks will be given by
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and New York State Comptroller
Thomas P. DiNapoli, who has shown enormous leadership on these
issues. Following the forum, both guests will join NYSE Euronext
CEO Duncan L. Niederauer in ringing the NYSE closing bell.
