Better Health for All

LSEG's core business as a financial markets infrastructure and data provider is health-neutral, meaning its principal goods and services do not have direct positive or negative health impacts. Consequently, most KPIs related to direct health effects, harmful revenue, product safety, accessibility, innovation, externalities, health equity, workforce support, preventative measures, crisis response, patents, nutrition, education, and addiction are not applicable or have no relevant evidence. However, LSEG demonstrates commitment to responsible data handling and employee mental well-being. For healthcare data responsibility, LSEG collects health-related personal data for employee benefits, health and safety, and event access.

It has a Privacy and Data Protection Policy, a Data Governance Policy, mandatory annual training for all colleagues, and maintains technical and organizational security measures, including a data leakage protection program. Regarding mental health initiatives, LSEG provides comprehensive support for its 26,000+ colleagues. This includes an Employee Assistance Programme, 140 mental health awareness champions, educational webinars, an annual wellness allowance, and access to the Peppy Digital Health App in the UK. The LSEG Foundation also supports global mental health charities.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) is primarily a business-to-business financial markets infrastructure and data provider, not a consumer-facing financial institution. Consequently, many KPIs related to consumer lending, deposits, or insurance products are not applicable to its core operations, resulting in a score of 0 for those metrics. For instance, LSEG does not offer consumer credit products, nor does it operate retail financial service access points. While the LSEG Foundation, a grant-making charity, supported 111,099 people with financial literacy and numeracy training in 2024

and received £4,091,349 in grants, the company's annual pre-tax profit is not provided, preventing calculation of profit reinvestment percentage. Additionally, the number of financial literacy beneficiaries cannot be expressed as a percentage of LSEG's 'customers' as defined by the rubric, given its B2B model.

The employee engagement score was 74/100 in 2024, with 81% of colleagues participating in the annual survey. Voluntary employee turnover was 8.3% in 2024.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing
