Bunge Global SA

ISIN: CH1300646267 | Switzerland | Europe
Score 2 - Moderate
Full assessment

Bunge's governance framework provides moderate controls around its lobbying and public affairs activities, but lacks a specific, systematic process for aligning those activities with its climate goals. Political activities are subject to board-level oversight, as "Political activities are overseen at the Board level by the Corporate Governance and Nominations Committee," and public affairs functions are managed by the "SVP Sustainability & Governmental Affairs" and a "Global Government Affairs committee" that "coordinates policies, positions and activities on an ongoing basis." The company has publicly committed "to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement" and states that it "take[s] opportunities to advance pro-climate positions when feasible." Indirect lobbying through trade associations is tracked in Bunge's "quarterly LD-2 lobbying disclosure filings," and when association positions conflict, the company "voice[s] the Bunge position" to advocate its views. However, Bunge does not disclose a formal climate-lobbying audit or a dedicated review process to assess alignment, nor does it specify criteria for evaluating and managing its direct lobbying activities against its Paris-aligned climate strategy.
