Mitigate risks. Improve returns.

Putting ESG thinking at the heart of your investment process

Designed to help you make sound, sustainable investment decisions, our ESG investing information covers 95% of global market cap and 76 countries over 800 metrics.

We help you assess the risks – and opportunities – posed by companies’ and countries' performance in critical areas, such as climate change, executive remuneration, and diversity and inclusion.

You can carry out your ESG investing research with complete confidence because every data point is rigorously quality controlled and verified to ensure that it is standardized, comparable and reliable.

Our Fund ESG Scores provide you with independent fund level scores highlighting the sustainability of particular investment funds.

As well as point-in-time and non point-in-time ESG data and scores, we offer sustainable bond information to help assess sustainable Fixed Income strategies and investments. Mapping corporate bonds to ESG data can be challenging due to bond issuance and ESG reporting typically occurring at different levels in the organisation hierarchy.

LSEG provides tools to map 660k corporate bond instruments to the closest related entity in the corporate hierarchy that has ESG statement data available.

Use our ESG Contributor Tool to upload ESG data to the LSEG ESG database to ensure thousands of investors are able to retrieve the full view of a company.

ESG Contributor Tool

Our ESG Contributor Tool helps you manage your firm’s ESG data. By using our free, self-service workflow tool – or working directly with our Contributor Relations Team – your data is made available to institutional investment firms, asset managers, investors, corporations, universities and research firms across our suite of products. LSEG products allow the financial community to easily integrate ESG factors into portfolio analysis, equity research, screening and quantitative analysis.

Contribute your Climate data alongside ESG via a recently launched Climate module or use our Excel bulk upload capability to speed up the process of contributing ESG & Climate data.

How we help

Our approach to ESG investing

With our standardised ESG data points (800+) and analytics (70+) – for 95% of global market cap based on publicly reported company data – we strive to be the industry standard database that reflects official company disclosure on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics.

We believe that company disclosure and standards of reporting on these issues is critical for driving accurate investor information, public discourse, and regulatory guidance.

We also believe that transparency is critical to driving positive outcomes at both a financial and social level.

To this end – for the purposes of company scoring – we do not use, create, or collect data that is not disclosed or publicly available.

As such, we can create a complete line of auditability all the way from documents (such as annual reports), to the company data points in our database, to company scores and fund ratings, which are based on robust fund holdings data.
