Our Business programme will allow you to gain valuable experience across a number of business areas. You may be involved in helping companies to raise capital, providing secure and reliable trading platforms or delivering real-time information. We’re also central to the post trade environment, managing risk and ensuring liquidity. All our work is underpinned by our expertise in developing and delivering state-of-the-art technology.

Learning and Development
We understand how important the start of your professional life is in shaping your long-term career. The first few weeks and months of your graduate programme will therefore be carefully structured with your professional development in mind.

An intensive induction for new graduates provides the tools you’ll need to hit the ground running from day one. This is followed up with a series of continuing development programmes that ensure a steep learning curve is maintained throughout. Depending on the programme, you may also have the opportunity to gain an industry recognised qualification.

Your professional development doesn’t end once you graduate from the programme, and you can look forward to opportunities to advance your skills and learning at every stage of your career. Our employees are encouraged to gain exposure across the Group during their formative years. This could mean placement opportunities with one of our many overseas businesses. LSEG also develops employees through exceptional classroom and online training, as well as ongoing development programmes, partnering with senior executives across the Group.

Environment

LSEG is committed to ensuring our operations and supply chain are environmentally responsible; utilising resources efficiently and in ways that benefit the environment.

The Group’s primary environmental impacts arise from our offices and data centres, staff travel and, indirectly, from our supply chain.

Our environmental ambitions are underpinned by science-based targets, aligning with the Paris Climate Agreement trajectory to achieve net-zero emissions.

We have become the first global exchange group to commit to net zero through the Business Ambition for 1.5°C and are members of the United Nations Climate Change ‘Race to Zero’.

Our environmental targets

LSEG was one of the first companies in the financial services sector to commit to long-term science-based carbon reduction targets, which have subsequently been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

We have committed to reduce absolute scope 1, 2 and 3(business travel) GHG emissions 46% by 2030 from a 2019 base year. We have also set a target of engaging with all key suppliers, accounting for 57% of Scope 3 emissions, to set science-based targets by 2025.

LSEG has also been a supporter of the Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) since its launch in 2017. We not only encourage issuers to report against TCFD through our reporting guidance but aims to go further each year in embedding these standards into our own financial reporting.

Our Culture

In 2019, we developed a Culture Dashboard to measure and assess our culture. The Dashboard provides the Board and Executive Committee with a quantitative way to measure and assess progress over time, using data gathered from our “Have Your Say” employee engagement survey and other sources, which are all continually evaluated to ensure we collect the right data to best understand how our people feel.
