| Strong | Thomson Reuters provides a high level of transparency around its climate-policy lobbying. It names the specific regulations it engages on, citing the “UK SECR,” the “EU CSRD,” and the “up-coming US SEC regulations” that address corporate climate disclosure. The company also describes several ways it tries to influence these measures, saying it relies on “one-to-one meetings and seminars, news reporting, committee membership and surveys” and that these efforts are directed at “policy makers – national and international governments and regulators,” including bodies such as UNEP and the Canadian/UK Commission on Climate Change. Finally, it is clear about the results it is seeking: it wants “applicable companies in their jurisdictions transparently disclose their emissions, climate impacts, sustainability governance, and climate-related risks and opportunities,” explicitly supporting the disclosure rules “with no exceptions” and linking this stance to alignment with the Paris Agreement. Although it does not tie each mechanism to a particular individual decision-maker, the combination of named policies, stated engagement channels and clearly articulated objectives demonstrates strong transparency overall. | 3 |
