Direct Lobbying Transparency

| Limited | Capitec Bank Holdings Limited provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. The company’s reporting cites broad engagement with climate matters and mentions policy instruments such as the Draft Climate Change Bill B9-2022 and South Africa’s updated Nationally Determined Contribution, but it does not clarify whether it sought to influence these measures or any other specific legislation. No information is offered about how the bank interacts with policymakers or industry associations—there is no reference to meetings, submissions, letters, or other channels, nor are any target government bodies or officials identified. Similarly, the bank states high-level aspirations, such as alignment with the Paris Agreement and improved climate disclosure, but it does not spell out concrete policy changes it supports or opposes, or the reasons for any positions. As a result, while the company signals an interest in climate policy, it does not transparently describe the substance, methods, or objectives of any lobbying activity. | 1 |
