FTSE RussellESG & Sustainability Jobs

FTSE Russell is a global index provider, creating and managing a range of market indices for various asset classes.

FTSE Russell, part of LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group), designs and maintains financial indices across equity, fixed income, and multi-asset classes. Its benchmarks - including the Russell 1000, Russell 2000, and FTSE series - are used by asset managers, asset owners, banks, and hedge funds worldwide to track markets, build investment products, and manage risk.

Why it matters

FTSE Russell has a dedicated sustainable investing solutions practice that develops ESG and climate-focused indices. These indices allow institutional investors to screen portfolios for carbon exposure, align holdings with net-zero pathways, or assess risks such as biodiversity loss - translating sustainability criteria into investable benchmarks. Because trillions of dollars in passive and active funds track or reference FTSE Russell indices, the ESG criteria embedded in those benchmarks can influence capital allocation at scale.

The firm also publishes research on topics such as biodiversity risk in investment portfolios and climate-related market trends, supporting the broader investment community in integrating sustainability considerations into portfolio construction.
