Sustainable Finance and Investment

LSEG Sovereign Sustainability Solutions

Bringing sustainability to fixed income investing.

LSEG sovereign sustainability solutions enable Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) integration into fixed income and multi asset research, complementing traditional credit analysis with the goal of assisting financial sector clients in the transition towards a sustainable economy.

The data provides:

  • Data-driven insights for sovereign decision-making: Combining sovereign ESG data, climate indicators, and SDG-aligned analytics, LSEG enables users to benchmark countries, identify material sustainability risks and opportunities, and support more informed investment, policy, and financing decisions.
  • Understanding of which countries are best positioned for the low-carbon transition through insights into emissions trends, climate policies, net-zero commitments and sustainability performance.
  • Access to macro-governance strength and institutional resilience through country-level indicators covering governance effectiveness, policy stability, regulatory quality, and broader sustainability factors that can influence long-term economic performance and sovereign risk.
  • A transparent, data-driven view of how countries are performing against the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), enabling fixed income investors to identify sustainability strengths, risks and long-term development trends.

Our sovereign sustainability solutions are built on in-house expertise on climate/ESG, data science, and financial risk assessment, and covers over 175 countries and 78,000 indicators.
