Our strategic priorities

We aim to be a strategic enabler of sustainable growth by focusing on those issues where we can have the greatest impact. Our sustainability strategy has three strategic priorities underpinned by a series of objectives.

1
Decarbonising the whole global economy is critical to minimise the worst consequences of climate change. We are leveraging LSEG’s unique market position, capabilities, products and services to support a global reallocation of capital which shares the costs and benefits of reaching net zero fairly between, and within, countries.

Transition capital: Enable more companies and issuers to access the capital needed to finance the transition to a low-carbon economy and enable investors to build transition-aligned portfolios.

Data and disclosure: Improve transparency and understanding of environmental, social and financial risks associated with the transition by promoting clear, comparable and comprehensive data, analytical tools and research to inform investment decision-making, deeper engagement between companies and investors and market-wide collaboration.

LSEG Net Zero: Fulfil our commitment to the UN Race to Zero to reduce LSEG’s carbon emissions by 50% by 2030 and reach net zero by 2040.

Inclusive culture: Embed an inclusive culture at LSEG that values diverse perspectives and embraces diversity of every kind.
