  NEW YORK, October 12, 2010 - Thomson Reuters, the world's leading source of
intelligent information for businesses and professionals, today became a
signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI),
reflecting the company's ongoing commitment to responsible practices around
environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) considerations.

  The UN PRI is a globally recognized initiative dedicated to integrating ESG
issues into investment processes and the exercise of responsible ownership
practices through an established framework of best practices.

  "Many companies adopt a code of conduct or mission, we may be unique in
embedding our core values right into our constitutional documents through the
Thomson Reuters Trust Principles," said Thomas H. Glocer, chief executive
officer of Thomson Reuters.  "Through the power of information and news, Thomson
Reuters strives to help make markets more fair and efficient, promote the rule
of law, shine the light of transparency upon corruption and misdeeds around the
world, improve quality and fight waste in the delivery of healthcare, and
highlight environmental, disaster relief and other societal issues.  Thus, we
are pleased to reaffirm this commitment by becoming a signatory to the UN
Principles for Responsible Investment."

  Thomson Reuters is strongly committed to doing business in ways that respect,
protect and benefit customers, employees, the communities in which it operates
and the environment.  The Board of Directors and all Thomson Reuters employees
conduct themselves in accordance with a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and
the Thomson Reuters Trust Principles which seek to preserve independence,
integrity and freedom from bias in the gathering and dissemination of
information and news.

  For its customers, Thomson Reuters promotes the widespread adoption of ESG
data into mainstream financial analysis.  Through acquisitions of founding
signatory ASSET4 in November 2009 and Point Carbon in May 2010, Thomson Reuters
is meeting the needs of its equity and fixed income clients globally who are
increasingly looking to integrate ESG factors into their financial decisions.
With over 125 analysts collecting data from a universe of over 3,200 public
