Our sustainability ambition
LSEG’s purpose is driving financial stability, empowering economies and enabling customers to create sustainable growth. We deliver on our purpose through the products and services we provide and through our wider role in financial markets and society. We have a key role in enabling sustainable economic development, which demands a balance of economic progress, social inclusion and environmental protection.
Given LSEG’s central position within financial markets, its global presence and role throughout the trade lifecycle, we have a critical role in helping to re-engineer the financial ecosystem, contributing to the global imperative to decarbonise, innovating and growing the green economy, while ensuring that everyone can benefit from sustainable economic growth.
Our ambition is to be a strategic enabler of sustainable economic growth and a recognised sustainability leader in global financial markets.
