Euronext Foundation

Supporting financial literacy, diversity and inclusion, marine resources and peacekeeping

The Euronext Foundation aims to foster Euronext's support of local sustainable communities and projects across Europe in the fields of financial literacy, diversity and inclusion in finance, marine resources and peacekeeping.

It acts as an umbrella encompassing Euronext’s philanthropic and educational support via dedicated funding and volunteering initiatives to empower young people, promote sustainability, and strengthen our connections with local communities.

Euronext is committed to:

Financial literacy

Improving the financial knowledge and skills of people across Europe. We are committed to reaching a broad community of companies across and beyond the financial community, as well as teachers, students, and members of the wider population.

Diversity and inclusion in finance

Promoting a diverse and inclusive financial industry, by working with schools, recruitment agencies, and local network partnerships to attract and recruit more diverse talents and to ensure an inclusive hiring process.

Marine resources

With a rich marine history in all its countries, Euronext’s goal is to be a leader in advancing the Blue Economy to address the threats to the oceans and contribute to enhanced ocean and coastal resilience.

Peacekeeping

This pillar reflects the Euronext's commitment to civic participation and the strengthening of democratic resilience across Europe.

This immersive experience closely mirrors real-world investing, equipping participants with the practical tools and insights needed to confidently engage with financial markets.

Euronext Blue Challenge

AEX Experience

The AEX Experience is a joint initiative of Euronext and Stichting Capital Amsterdam, under the Euronext Foundation, aimed at increasing the financial literacy of future generations of investors. The educational experience gives students aged 14 to 20 a unique look into the world of investing at the historic stock exchange building at Beursplein 5 in Amsterdam.

During this interactive tour, students explore the history of the Dutch investment world, brought to life through a modern stock market experience. In the 'Investing' course they learn the basics of investing, then put that knowledge into practice in the Investor Game to see who makes the highest return. The tour is available in English and Dutch.

Coastal Clean Up Euronext

Coastal cleanup activities

Euronext is the first exchange signatory of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC)’s Sustainable Ocean Principles. The conservation and sustainable use of the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development, covered by UN Sustainable Development Goal 14, is embraced by Euronext and is dear to our community.

Euronext volunteers from the Belgium, Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal and UK offices take part annually in our week of water-front clean-up initiatives on their country’s coast, canals or rivers, filling dozens of bags with rubbish and preventing it from ending in the ocean.
