Sustainability and ecological responsibility have become key components of modern investment strategies. At the Vienna Stock Exchange, we recognise their importance and offer investors a platform to gain information about sustainable investment opportunities.

Today, investments need to generate more than just financial returns – they should also have a positive social and environmental impact. A selection of investment products is available that contribute to our economy's path to a sustainable future and have been selected according to strict criteria.

Sustainable equity investments

Aktieninvestments mit einem klaren Nachhaltigkeits-Fokus sind ein entscheidender Hebel für die ökologische und soziale Transformation unserer Wirtschaft. Durch gezielte Investments in verantwortungsbewusste Unternehmen, die sich den Prinzipien der ökologischen Nachhaltigkeit, sozialen Verantwortung und guten Unternehmensführung (ESG-Kriterien) verschrieben haben, können Investorinnen und Investoren einen direkten Einfluss ausüben.

In our "ESG in the focus" series, we present listed companies on their path to a green and sustainable future. Leading companies to carbon neutrality requires an enormous amount of investment. We focus on the environmental and social activities of selected issuers.

Companies with "ESG in the focus"

Companies listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange that are leaders in terms of social and environmental performance are listed in the Austrian Sustainability Index (VÖNIX) and thus represent the sustainability benchmark of the Austrian stock market. The stocks included in the index are selected on the basis of a complex evaluation model that takes extensive ecological and social criteria into account.

Green & social bonds

In addition to stocks, sustainable bonds are also a powerful instrument for shaping the future. Green and social bonds offer investors the opportunity to channel capital specifically into projects and companies that have a measurable positive impact on our environment and society.

Our platform offers easier access to sustainable financial instruments that support the green transformation of the capital markets. By investing in ESG-compliant bonds of the Vienna ESG Segment, investors can make responsible and environmentally sustainable investments. The alignment with international standards and the continuous disclosure and reporting on the use of the issue proceeds proceeds allow well-founded investment decisions.
