With the addition of the LSFI, which is Luxembourg’s coordinating entity for sustainable finance, Eurosif now has 10 members and two observers. Eurosif aims to help the European sustainable finance industry grow by contributing to public policy developments and conducting research on sustainable investment and possible obstacles that sustainability-oriented investors could encounter.
“We aim to raise awareness, be a central point of information and also help the financial sector advance on this journey. For doing so, collaborating and knowledge-sharing are indispensable to foster sustainable investments with speed,” stated Nicoletta Centofanti, general manager of the LSFI. “In this regard, we are delighted to become members of Eurosif as it is an opportunity for the LSFI to find synergies, learn from our international peers, share best practices, and showcase Luxembourg’s pioneer activities in this domain.”

The LSFI raises awareness and helps the grand duchy’s financial sector further transition towards increased sustainability. Founded in 2020 by Luxembourg’s finance and environment ministries, as well as Luxembourg For Finance and the High Council on Sustainable Development, the non-profit organisation works with other sustainable finance stakeholders to implement Luxembourg’s sustainable finance strategy.
“Luxembourg is a major financial centre in Europe, in particular, thanks to its funds management industry and I am delighted to welcome the LSFI as a new member of Eurosif’s growing membership list,” commented Will Oulton, chairman of Eurosif. “We are still in the early phases of the implementation of the EU’s sustainable finance agenda and the LSFI will add further weight to our role as an informed industry voice representing the views of the sustainable investment industry back to policy makers to support the growth of sustainable finance across Europe.”
