What LuxFLAG does

LuxFLAG (Luxembourg Finance Labelling Agency a.s.b.l.) is a financially independent, non-profit labelling and verification agency founded in Luxembourg in 2006. The organisation awards three proprietary certifications — the Impact Label, ESG Label, and Transition Label — to investment funds, insurance products, and other financial instruments that meet transparent eligibility criteria for sustainability integration. Labels are valid for three-year periods and granted through quarterly Eligibility Committee reviews.

LuxFLAG generates revenue through three streams: recurring labelling fees tied to the 3-year certification cycle; annual Associate Membership fees priced at EUR 1,500 (under 10 employees) or EUR 3,000 (10 or more employees); and the LuxFLAG Academy training program, which charges EUR 240-475 per module for ESG, impact investing, and sustainable governance courses delivered to members. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, supplemented by thought-leadership content, webinars, and flagship events such as the annual LuxFLAG Sustainable Investment Week (LSIW) and partnerships with industry bodies including AFME, LSFI, and EFPA Luxembourg.

As of Q2 2026, LuxFLAG has labelled 204 financial and insurance products representing EUR 103.53 billion in assets under management, domiciled across seven European jurisdictions (Austria, Belgium, Estonia, France, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg). The customer base spans asset managers, banks, and insurance companies including Arkéa Asset Management (21 funds), Eiffel Investment Group (10 funds), SCOR, Spuerkeess, Banque Raiffeisen, and ING Luxembourg. The organisation operates from a single headquarters in Luxembourg, holds GDPR compliance certification, and is recognised by the Luxembourg Ministry of Education as a certified training organisation.
