Since 2015, LSE has adopted a Environmental, Social and Governance Policy (prevously called Socially Responsible Investment policy until November 2022) which applies to the £200m of endowment funds originating from grants or donations and the long-term investment of retained surpluses (School endowments). The endowments are invested across circa 15 managers. The School is committed to working to improve the Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) behaviours of its fund managers.
