You might have heard that LSE is kicking off a review of the this academic year (2024/25). This review will look at how LSE manages its investments and endowments, following up on the
What’s Happening?
To guide this review, LSE Council has set up an ESG Review Group with experts from across the LSE community. To make sure the review is informed by diverse voices, LSE Council has requested that we collaborate with the school to put together a Consultative Group. This will include three students, three academic staff, and three professional services staff to provide feedback and insights to the Review Group.
How Can You Get Involved?
Students will be chosen through a process run by us, your Students’ Union. We are recruiting three students to be part of this group and to ensure that the group reflects the diversity of LSE’s community. Both the Review Group and Consultative Group will receive training on how LSE manages its endowments and will be briefed on legal responsibilities, divestment, and investment decisions. Members of the Consultative Group will also take part in workshops, roundtables, and regular meetings with the Review Group. This will be a big commitment, so we’ll make sure participants have the support they need to balance this work with their studies.
Our application process will include three questions on your understanding of ESG processes and the motivations behind your application.
Other Ways to Participate:
As only three students can be part of the Consultative Group, we will ensure there will be plenty of other opportunities to share your thoughts. The ESG Review Group will be hosting engagement events throughout the year, as will the Students’ Union.
Key Dates:
- 30 September – Student Applications open (we will send the link to apply on Monday)
- W/C 14 October – Interviews
- W/C 28 October – Applicants informed of outcome
This is your chance to have a say in how LSE approaches sustainable and ethical investing.
