Discontinuation of ESG scores and ratings available on our website to India based users

LSEG is no longer distributing ESG scores and ratings to its customers and users in India. ESG (environmental, social and governance) rating providers are required to obtain a license to provide ESG scores and ratings to customers and users in India.

LSEG is not pursuing an application to obtain the aforesaid license at this time.

To this end, users in India are unable to view ESG scores and ratings available on our website. Please note that any ESG scores and ratings appearing on our website are not meant or suitable for India based users.

Our solution

LSEG Sustainability Ratings and Data is organised into three categories to enable customers to meet their individual investing or financing requirements.

Dynamic and comprehensive ESG scores

Our scoring framework aggregates insights into a suite of sustainability signals measuring a company’s absolute ESG management quality and performance. It includes theme-level scores across 12 ESG themes as well as overall ESG scores.

For deeper insight, ESG Scores Plus integrates risk metrics – such as corporate controversies and sovereign ESG risks – and impact metrics – including green revenues and ESG debt issuance, offering a holistic view of corporate sustainability that goes beyond traditional ESG assessments.

ESG materiality assessments

Image mapping which ESG themes are relevant to different industry sectors.

To ensure ESG risks are evaluated through both a financial and real-world impact lens, we have developed a sustainability - focused materiality matrix that combines a redesigned industry classification with a double materiality framework.

This helps assess companies’ exposure to ESG risks by mapping the relevance of key sustainability themes across industry sectors and assigning each one a classification of Not Relevant, Relevant, Material or Critical.

Standardised sustainability data

We curate publicly available data and transform it into structured, comparable ESG metrics through rigorous quality control and analysis. Our concise set of high-quality indicators is aligned with global standards, delivering insights that you can trust. Our data comprises:

  • 170 tightly defined ESG metrics collected and standardised from public disclosures
  • 23 climate indicators from the Transition Pathway Initiative Management Quality methodology
  • over 50 additional data points from media sources including Reuters news, fixed income data from LSEG and the Climate Bonds Initiative and macroeconomic datasets such as those from the United Nations and the World Bank

 

Why it’s unique

Redesigned ESG foundations

  • A curated set of high-quality ESG indicators focusing on framework alignment, metric quality, data availability and concise design.

Next level scoring model

  • A 0 to 5 scoring methodology designed to gauge the quality of companies’ management of sustainability risks and opportunities.
  • Each ESG theme contains unique capping metrics that ensure key aspects of ESG strategies are required to progress in the scoring.
  • Performance metrics in specific ESG themes reward quantifiable and real-world progress on sustainability outcomes.

Modular ESG architecture

  • Standalone ESG theme assessments that can be used independently or be flexibly aggregated into customised composite scores.
  • A benchmarking-focused scoring system to enable comparison between companies, sectors and geographies.
