Ninety One Ltd
- Paris Agreement alignment
- Direct lobbying governance
Ninety One Ltd discloses detailed case studies of its climate-related advocacy - for example, "Our advocacy for net-zero targets that incentivise real-world, inclusive decarbonisation has included discussions with the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IGCC)" and its engagement in responding to the FCA's Sustainability Disclosure Requirements - and it confirms a "public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement" with a clear "Yes." However, we found no evidence of any internal governance mechanisms such as a defined review process, oversight by a named individual or committee, or procedures to monitor and align both direct and indirect lobbying. The company does not disclose who oversees these engagement activities or how they are assessed or audited for alignment with its climate strategy, indicating limited governance processes for its lobbying efforts.
This assessment is part of the Lobbying Governance Index, covering 8,500 companies scored on whether they have processes to oversee their climate lobbying. See all companies in Middle East & Africa or all companies in South Africa.
