Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Computershare’s disclosures indicate that it "does not currently engage in activities that could directly or indirectly influence policy, law or regulation that may impact climate," and that "ESG / climate risks are being incorporated within our enterprise risk management framework." This risk management framework "enables Computershare to periodically evaluate policy, law or regulation around climate issues to assess the level of materiality impact across Computershare’s global organisation," and the company states that "if there was a requirement for Computershare to undertake activities to influence policy, law or regulation this would be driven through the risk management process and governance structure to ensure ongoing alignment with Computershare’s strategy on climate change." While the organization answered "Yes" to having a public commitment to conduct its engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement, there is no disclosure of a specified individual or formal body overseeing lobbying, no dedicated monitoring or review process for direct or indirect lobbying, and no criteria for assessing alignment of lobbying activities with its climate strategy.

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Computershare Ltd’s disclosures provide almost no visibility into its climate-related lobbying activities. It references engagement with the Department of Business and Trade on the Economic Crime & Corporate Transparency Bill and mentions potential revisions to the UK Corporate Governance Code, but it does not indicate any actual attempts to influence these policies. There is no detail on the mechanisms of engagement—such as meetings, letters, or consultations—or on the specific policymaking targets. Additionally, while the company raises concerns about the Bill’s criminalization provisions and associated fraud risks, it does not specify any desired amendments or outcomes it sought. Overall, the disclosures do not enable identification of the policies lobbied, the methods used, or the outcomes sought.	E
