Supporting sustainable growth
We enable sustainable economic growth by providing sustainable finance products and solutions and engaging the sustainable finance market and policymakers.
Market and policy engagement
LSEG plays an active role in accelerating the development of the sustainable finance and investment ecosystem though our targeted engagement with industry and policymakers.
We know that capital markets can play a key role in addressing the sustainability challenges we face in the world today. Yet the financial sector often does not have access to high-quality information and data to underpin the integration of sustainability into investment decision-making. To address this challenge, we proactively support initiatives to improve and advance sustainability reporting globally.
More information on how we’re doing this, and examples of our engagement activities, can be found in our Sustainability Report 2024.

Our sustainable products and solutions
For over 20 years, we have been playing a leading role in sustainable finance and we strive to meet customers’ sustainability needs by innovating and providing sustainable finance and investment products and services across four key areas.
- Sustainability data and analytics: Our Climate and ESG datasets coupled with analytics managed by LSEG Data & Analytics are designed to inform business and investment decision-making.
Sustainable indices: Our comprehensive range of sustainable and climate indices, managed by FTSE Russell, enable investors to align portfolios with sustainability themes and integrate specific sustainability factors into their investment strategies.
Capital raising: In our markets division, we help our customers to raise capital to support their sustainable growth and transition needs, via sustainable bonds and green equity capital raising, and by providing our listed companies and those issuing bonds with sustainability data and services.
Corporate services: We provide a growing range of services for corporate customers to support them with their sustainability-related needs. This includes guidance and resources to help issuers manage their climate governance and sustainability reporting, and to engage more effectively with investors.
