Capitalism

Metrics

In 2019 the World Economic Forum (WEF) launched the 'Measuring Stakeholder Capitalism Initiative' to improve how companies measure and demonstrate their performance against environmental, social and governance (ESG) indicators and track their positive contributions towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on a consistent basis. The initiative promotes disclosure against 21 core and 34 expanded metrics focused on four themes: People, Planet, Prosperity and Principles of Governance.

The table below summarises how LSEG reports against the 21 core indicators.
