Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Coronation Fund Managers describes its collaborative engagement with government and regulators, noting that "we do advocate for transparent public-private sector engagement and cooperation in all spheres of government" and that "we collaborate on numerous issues affecting the industry and country via ASISA" with input at Board level and working groups. It emphasizes sustainability oversight, stating that "the Board has oversight of all key matters related to sustainability and delegates its authority to its subcommittees and management" and detailing the roles of its Sustainability and Social, Ethics & Transformation Committees. However, beyond these disclosures on sustainability and investment stewardship, there is no indication of any dedicated policy, process, or oversight body specifically governing its direct or indirect lobbying activities or ensuring alignment of lobbying with its climate or broader policy positions; we found no evidence of monitoring procedures or an individual or committee responsible for lobbying governance. This absence of any described lobbying governance framework indicates that the company does not disclose how it manages or oversees its policy advocacy or association memberships to align with its climate-related goals.

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Moderate	Coronation Fund Managers demonstrates a moderate level of openness about its climate lobbying activities. The company outlines various mechanisms—such as letters, meetings, and participation in collaborative initiatives like Climate Action 100+—and clearly references key targets including cabinet ministers, regulators, and industry bodies. In terms of climate policy, Coronation points to a general engagement with carbon tax legislation and calls on companies to adopt frameworks like the TCFD, though it does not disclose any specific government legislation it has lobbied. As for desired outcomes, the company underscores its goal of driving widespread adoption of the TCFD recommendations, stating, “We expect companies to provide robust disclosures of climate risks and opportunities so that we are able to assess how well positioned they are to manage those risks and the transition to a low-carbon economy,” without detailing precise policy measures or legislation it seeks to amend.
