Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Strong	Jupiter Fund Management PLC provides a high level of detail about its climate-policy advocacy. It identifies several concrete policy processes it has engaged on, including the "ISSB Exposure Drafts," the "UK's Net Zero Review," and its October 2022 joint letter urging the Government to produce a "Net Zero Investment Plan" alongside the Green Finance Strategy, giving each enough context to be uniquely recognisable. The company also explains how it interacts with policymakers: it "contributed to and commented on the ISSB Exposure Drafts," "endors[ed] UKSIF’s position" in a submission to the Net Zero Review, and directly "signed a joint letter to the Chancellor of the Exchequer," thereby disclosing both the methods (written submissions, coalition positions, joint letters) and the specific targets (ISSB, UK Government, Chancellor). On desired outcomes, Jupiter states it "support[s] with no exceptions" the ISSB drafts and the Net Zero Review recommendations, and in its letter calls for the Government to issue a Net Zero Investment Plan, providing two clearly articulated policy goals even if not every engagement is tied to a detailed amendment or metric. Taken together, these disclosures demonstrate strong transparency around the company’s climate-related lobbying activities.	3

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Jupiter Fund Management PLC discloses some elements of governance related to its engagement activities and climate strategy. The company states that its "public commitment to conduct engagement activities in line with the goals of Paris agreement is channelled through our participation within NZAMI," and highlights its commitment to "support the goal of net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050." It also mentions the implementation of a "stewardship and engagement strategy, with a clear escalation and voting policy," which is aligned with its climate ambitions. Furthermore, the oversight of these activities is attributed to the "CIO and internal committees for the period under review." However, the evidence does not explicitly describe a governance process for lobbying activities, such as mechanisms for monitoring or managing lobbying alignment, or specific actions taken to align direct or indirect lobbying with climate goals. Additionally, there is no mention of a detailed review or audit of lobbying activities or trade association alignment. This indicates limited governance disclosure specific to lobbying.	1
