LSEG launched a new product Sustainability Ratings and Data

London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) launched a new product LSEG Sustainability Ratings and Data — a comprehensive set of ESG scores and analytical tools for investors and financial institutions.

Coverage includes more than 16,000 companies and over 1 million debt instruments. The methodology is purely rule‑based — without subjective analyst judgment — and works with 220 standardized indicators and more than 2,000 data points.

Scores rate companies on a scale of 0 to 5 across 12 thematic areas, including climate transition, biodiversity, water resources, labor relations, human rights, anti‑corruption, and tax transparency.

An important aspect is the linkage to major regulatory frameworks — the methodology is aligned with ISSB, GRI, SASB and the European ESRS standards. LSEG uses a double materiality approach at the level of companies' business segments.

The offering also includes ESG Scores Plus, which additionally covers controversies, sovereign ESG risks, and positive environmental signals such as green revenues and sustainable financing.

LSEG explicitly targets integration into automated and AI‑driven workflows, responding to the growing need of financial institutions to incorporate ESG data into investment decision‑making, regulatory reporting, and advisory.
