FMDQ Green Exchange is an information platform dedicated to promoting transparency, good governance, and the growth of Green and Sustainable Finance in the Nigerian financial markets by showcasing sustainability-linked capital raising activities (securities issuances) that align with global Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles.

FMDQ Green Exchange only displays data/information for Green and Sustainable securities, thereby providing quicker access to the niche segment and improving visibility for such securities (and their issuers). This is unlike other similar data/information platforms available on FMDQ Securities Exchange Limited (“FMDQ Exchange”) that are not restricted to only data/information for Green and Sustainable securities.
