Please join S&P Global Ratings' analysts for a live webinar discussing an emerging trend in green equity designations. We will discuss how we work with Nasdaq, B3 and SIX to evaluate a company’s alignment to green equity principles, using our Climate Transition Assessment. Panelists representing stock exchanges will also discuss how they provide transparency to investors on green companies and the potential for growth.

Key discussion points:

• New analysis from S&P Global Ratings explores how stock exchanges are offering green equity designations and compares their requirements which largely build on the green equity principles from the World Federation of Exchanges.  
• Nasdaq Nordics first launched its Green Equity and Green Transition Designations in 2021, followed by B3 in Brazil and SIX in Switzerland in 2024.
• While only 12 companies have thus far attained a green equity qualification, they represent a range across regions and sectors. The green equity market originated in clean tech and real estate companies, with some parallels to the beginning of the green bond market. 

Industry experts joining us include: 
Victoria Powell, Senior Manager for ESG Regulatory Affairs, World Federation of Exchanges  
Virgínia Nicolau Gonçalves, Head of Sustainability, B3
Adam Kostyál, President of Nasdaq Stockholm and Head of Listings Europe, Nasdaq
