Group CEO's Message
The reputation of the London Stock Exchange Group (“LSEG”) or ("the Group") is one of our greatest assets. All of us play a role in protecting that asset. We each have a duty to act with the highest levels of integrity at all times to maintain the legacy of trust that LSEG has developed with its many stakeholders.
The Code of Conduct (“the Code”) has been developed to help us all uphold that responsibility. It is the link between our cultural intent and our policies and practices. It sets out the standards of behaviour expected of us all. We should each be familiar with its contents and follow the guidance it provides. As LSEG employees, the Code represents the personal and professional commitment we each make to hold ourselves to the highest standards in how we work with each other, our customers and our stakeholders. Wherever possible, we insist that others outside the company who work with us apply the same rules.
The Code commits us to:
- Ethical behaviour;
- Competing fairly and avoiding conflicts of interest and abuses of power;
- Working in partnership with our customers and providing them with high quality products, services and value;
- Treating employees and business partners fairly and with respect;
- Managing the company with the highest standards of corporate governance and best practice.
The Code underpins our approach to managing risks and expresses our determination in:
- Providing fair and equal employment in a healthy, safe and respectful workplace, that embraces inclusion and diversity;
- Safeguarding the environment and making a valuable contribution to the communities in which we operate.
Please review and reflect on our Code of Conduct so that you understand your commitments and know where to turn for guidance.
