ISIN: US6516391066 | United States | North America
Score 2 - Moderate
Full assessment

Newmont Corp demonstrates a structured process to align its indirect lobbying through industry associations with its climate commitments but does not disclose robust governance for its direct lobbying efforts or name a specific oversight body for its lobbying alignment. Specifically, the company states that "in 2021, we continued to analyze the extent of alignment between our climate commitments and the positions and commitments of our associations," assessing "whether the association has a public position on climate that supports the objectives of the Paris Agreement," and determines that "where significant misalignment has been identified or the association has no public position on climate change, we will engage with the association to address gaps with Newmont's commitment to the implementation of the Paris Agreement." Furthermore, "Newmont will conduct this misalignment assessment on an annual basis and will reevaluate memberships as positions change," reflecting a clear mechanism for indirect lobbying oversight. However, we found no evidence of a formal process for overseeing direct lobbying activities aligned with climate policy or of a named individual or committee responsible specifically for lobbying governance.
