The London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) has introduced a new set of ESG scores and sustainability analytics to be integrated across a range of platforms, including LSEG Workspace.

At a time when financial institutions are under increasing regulatory scrutiny and have to guard against greenwashing the new scores, the new scores have been built on a research driven methodology aligned with leading global sustainability frameworks and regulations such as ISSB, GRI, SASB and ESRS.

The enhanced model incorporates 220 standardised indicators, and a sustainability-first materiality matrix combining a redesigned industry classification with a double materiality approach at a business segment level. The transparent scores, from a scale of 0 (not aware) to 5 (leading), are designed to provide clarity and consistency for a wide range of financial workflows.
