Our Industry Partners

We are committed to engaging with our industry peers on defining a sustainable future together whether we're collaborating with industry groups to set global standards, demonstrating our leadership through international organizations dedicated to making markets better, or working toward equity and inclusion through diversity-organizations.

Our Values in Action

Environmental

Financial services can support society's transition to a low carbon economy, and we recognize the need to do our part. We have taken steps to reduce the environmental footprint of our direct operations and are actively participating in industry-driven organizations. To start, Cboe has offset our Scope 1 and 2 emissions with the purchase of carbon credits.

We have offset our Scope 1 and 2 emissions from 2020

Our Green Partners

Our headquarters is certified LEED Gold and we've purchased carbon credits to offset our operational emissions. We're also partnering with Climate Vault -- an award-winning non-profit founded at the University of Chicago -- to help achieve our carbon-neutral operations. In 2021, we joined forces with Land Life Company to restore degraded land in Australia and Spain in the 2022/2023 planting season.

Associate Resource Groups

Our Associate Resource Groups (ARGs) help us challenge bias, embrace differences and, most importantly, empower associates with the tools and resources to be their authentic selves at Cboe.
