BMV Champions Climate Action With “Ring the Bell” Initiative

The Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV) reinforced its commitment to fostering a sustainable market and building a more prosperous future by celebrating the second edition of the "Ring the Bell for Climate" initiative. This event, organized by the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE), brings together stock exchanges globally to unite in addressing the climate crisis and channeling resources toward a sustainable future.

Jorge Alegría, CEO, BMV, emphasized the importance of transparency in environmental disclosures. “Transparency in disclosure is critical for companies to report their environmental impacts in a standardized, clear, and comparable way, which facilitates the understanding of climate risks and opportunities, thus driving the financing of sustainable projects,” he said.

Grupo BMV continues to lead strategic initiatives promoting sustainable investment and corporate responsibility within the organization and across the market. These initiatives include efforts to become Net Zero, measure and reduce environmental impact, assess and disclose climate-related risks, and support sustainable projects through ESG-labeled bonds. 

Additionally, the group has developed ESG indices to highlight companies excelling in sustainability and created a Carbon Neutrality Guide for businesses. Furthermore, the organization has launched the MÉXICO2 platform, supporting the growth of carbon markets, and hosted the Mexico Carbon Forum, which gathers key decision-makers from the corporate and governmental sectors to advance emissions reduction initiatives.
