Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Moderate	Endeavour Mining PLC’s approach to lobbying governance is focused on its indirect lobbying through trade and industry associations, requiring that “membership of these trade and industry associations is conditional on their lobbying activities complying with relevant laws, regulations and international norms and supporting the Paris Agreement and nature conservation efforts.” It further explains that “Before joining any international trade organisations, we would vet them for their stance on climate change to ensure it was supporting our overall goals and targets,” and it makes a public commitment to conduct its engagement “in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.” However, the company does not disclose any process for governing its own direct lobbying or name any individual or formal body responsible for overseeing or reviewing lobbying activities, nor does it describe ongoing monitoring or management procedures for these activities.

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Comprehensive	Endeavour Mining is fully transparent in stating that it does not participate in any climate-related lobbying. The company declares: "With regards to political lobbying, we do not make any type of financial contributions to any political campaign, political party, political candidate, or any affiliated organisations with the intention of obtaining a business or any other advantage in any of the countries in which we operate." By explicitly affirming that it undertakes no lobbying activity, naming no policies because it engages with none, describing no mechanisms because it employs none, and confirming that it seeks no policy outcomes, the company provides a clear and comprehensive explanation of its non-engagement. This level of detail gives readers unambiguous insight into the absence of climate lobbying across policies, mechanisms, and desired outcomes.	A
