Quilter PLC

Quilter PLC provides a limited approach to climate lobbying governance: it states that "Climate lobbying: We may not support the election of non-executive directors with sustainability responsibilities with relationships to industry associations that oppose efforts to transition to a low carbon economy" and that it "will typically support well-structured and relevant shareholder resolutions calling for further transparency on lobbying and industry group alignment reviews." However, the company does not disclose any internal mechanisms, oversight structures, or formal processes for reviewing or approving its lobbying activities, nor does it name any individual or committee responsible for this oversight. We found no evidence of a policy for monitoring direct engagement with policymakers or for managing its memberships of trade associations in line with climate goals, and it has explicitly stated that it does not have a public commitment to align its engagement activities with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
