Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Beazley PLC outlines a comprehensive governance structure for ESG and climate-related risk, noting that “the ultimate responsibility for the delivery of responsible business matters lies with the plc Board and executive committee” and detailing how its Responsible Business Steering Group—“chaired by the Chief Executive Officer and attended by the CRO and CUO”—meets regularly to oversee ESG strategy and risk management. The evidence also highlights the company’s participation in “Industry Forums” such as “UN PSI, UN PRI, Climatewise, the Sustainable Market’s Initiative, and FIT” to support its net-zero transition. However, the company does not disclose any processes, policies, or oversight specifically governing its lobbying activities, nor is there any reference to how it aligns or monitors either direct or indirect lobbying with its climate or policy objectives. We found no evidence of a named individual or formal body responsible for reviewing lobbying alignment, and there is no indication of audits, reviews, or criteria for assessing lobbying positions or trade association memberships against the company’s climate policy.

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Comprehensive	Beazley PLC demonstrates full transparency by openly declaring that it undertakes no climate-related lobbying at all. The company states, "Beazley has a policy to not provide political donations in any jurisdiction, nor to undertake any political lobbying of governments," which simultaneously clarifies the policies it lobbies (none), the mechanisms it employs (none), and the outcomes it seeks (none). By explicitly outlining this corporate policy and the resulting absence of any lobbying activity, targets or desired policy changes, Beazley provides a comprehensive and unambiguous picture of its stance on climate policy influence.	4
