Janus Henderson Group PLC describes robust governance for climate and ESG risk management, including internal controls by its investment teams, an ESG Oversight Committee "chaired by our Chief Responsibility Officer" that oversees "portfolio management, various ESG data and toolsets... as well as non-investments oversight," and quarterly updates by the Chief Responsibility Officer to the Governance and Nominations Committee; however, the company does not disclose any governance processes related to lobbying or public policy engagement. While it states that it is "involved in a wide range of ESG-related initiatives as a member, supporter or in an advisory capacity" and confirms a "public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement," there is no mention of who oversees lobbying, how lobbying activities are monitored, or any mechanisms to ensure alignment of lobbying with climate change strategy.

Janus Henderson Group provides a clear picture of which climate-related rules it follows, naming several specific reporting regimes—“FCA/TCFD disclosure, SEC, CSRD and SECR among others”—and thereby showing openness about the policies on which it is active across multiple jurisdictions. The firm also indicates that it “supports mandatory disclosures through law and regulations,” which signals an intention to influence policy in favour of stronger climate-reporting requirements. However, it gives only a high-level statement of engagement and does not explain how it lobbies (e.g., meetings, letters, formal submissions) or which agencies or lawmakers it contacts, so the mechanisms used remain largely opaque. Likewise, aside from affirming general support for mandatory disclosure, the company does not spell out the specific changes, thresholds, or timelines it is advocating. As a result, while the scope of policies covered is well disclosed, the transparency surrounding its lobbying methods and the detailed outcomes it seeks is limited.
