We found no evidence of a lobbying governance process. The evidence focuses on sustainable-investment (SI) structures, stating “The governance of our SI processes is one of our priorities across our business and is constantly being enhanced to respond to fast changing regulation and best practice,” and detailing roles such as the “Global Chief Investment Officer” and “Head of Sustainable Investment,” but it does not reference any mechanisms for overseeing direct or indirect lobbying or aligning it with climate objectives. The company also discloses, “No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years,” in response to whether it has a public commitment to align engagement with the goals of the Paris Agreement. This indicates the absence of any disclosed governance process for climate-related lobbying activities.

Willis Towers Watson provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. The company states that it has been “closely involved with various governments, intergovernmental organizations and civil societies on climate policy and research” and refers to broad themes such as climate disclosure frameworks (e.g., TCFD) and net-zero transition planning, but it does not name any specific bills, regulations or rulemakings it has tried to influence. Its description of how it lobbies is similarly high-level: examples include participation in a “round-table discussion hosted by the White House Council of Economic Advisors” and indirect work “via membership in industry groups or associations,” yet there is no detail on concrete mechanisms such as written submissions, one-to-one meetings or consultation responses, and only the White House round-table clearly identifies a policymaking target. Finally, the company articulates only broad aspirations—supporting “an orderly transition towards sustainable and resilient economies and communities,” encouraging managers to “engage with regulators,” and improving ESG transparency—without spelling out the specific policy changes, thresholds or timelines it seeks. Collectively, the disclosures acknowledge some engagement but leave most of the who, how and what-for of the company’s climate lobbying undefined.
