Community Investment Statement
The LSEG Foundation
The LSEG Foundation aims to help people access economic opportunities and build a secure future with financial independence.
Working with charity and NGO partners, it delivers a range of programmes across the globe, creating opportunities for those in needto participate in education, employment and enterprise. Support is focused where we believe we can have the greatest impact.
The LSEG Foundation delivers its mission by focusing on three key strands of activity:i.

Fund: engaging a small portfolio of organisations, selected to deliver economic empowerment programmes across theworld, through multi-year strategic partnerships.

ii.

Engage: providing grants to a range of regional and locally charities, tackling the issues that matter most in the communities
where we operate. We encourage LSEG’s employees to support the Foundation’s work through matched fundraising andby using their two volunteer days to give their time and skills to its charity partners or other causes that matter most to them.

iii.

Convene: funding a select number of non-commercial initiatives which unlock the power of finance to drive positive
sustainability outcomes and support the transition to a net zero economy.

As an independent charitable entity, the LSEG Foundation is governed by a dedicated trustee board, and we leverage LSEG’s
expertise, resources and partners to address critical challenges facing society.
Our charity and community partners
Our community investment programme supports community organisations registered as charitable (by the relevant country’sregulatory body), alongside appropriate not-for-profit organisations, social enterprises and accredited educational institutions.
Disaster Relief
As a global business, our colleagues, locations and communities are sometimes impacted by natural, environmental, health orhumanitarian disasters. Alongside the activities of LSEG’s global Incident Management Team and HR function, who monitor thesituation closely if LSEG offices and colleagues are directly impacted, the LSEG Foundation will work with its global disaster relief
charity partner to explore areas for any potential further funding.
Volunteering
We encourage LSEG’s employees to support the Foundation’s work through matched fundraising on our TicketAid platform, and byusing their two volunteer days to give their time and skills to our charity partners, or other causes that matter the most to them.
