Increasing transparency

We believe that lobbying transparency is important. We engage with investors, international and civil society organisations, companies and industry associations as we further develop our approach to lobbying transparency. Initiatives such as the Global Standard on Responsible Corporate Climate Lobbying and the Climate Action 100+ Net Zero Company Benchmark aim to encourage greater transparency around climate-related lobbying by companies and industry associations. 

Our main lobbying disclosures are summarised in Table 1.
