Discussion:
At the beginning of the meeting, LSEG work was introduced and emphasis was given that they are a worldwide 
representative which also collects, analyses and computes ESG data.

After, LSEG provided their feedback concerning the application of SFDR among their customers (especially 
concerning PAI and the Taxonomy Regulation). LSEG also explained a bit more about their recent initiatives 
with regards to sustainable finance, including the database Lipper and collecting data on Taxonomy-eligibility/
alignment, on Articles 8 and 9 of SFDR and also their approach when using estimates (only for scope 3 data for 
Taxonomy-alignment). A short discussion ensued on the interaction between SFDR and the low-carbon 
benchmarks (PAB and CTB).

LSEG representatives raised questions regarding principle adverse impact in the context of social indicators 
recently published by ESMA and also the Due Diligence Regulation that might affect the LSEG business. They 
also asked about the timeline for delivering the amended RTSs as a result of the two mandates sent to the 
ESAs in April.

Finally, LSEG representatives presented their analysis of the Sustainability Disclosure Requirements initiative 
in the United Kingdom and also of the approach taken by the US. LSEG representatives will share the relevant 
documents as a follow-up with the Commission team.
