Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	CME Group provides only limited insight into its climate-policy lobbying. It indicates that it takes part in industry forums such as the World Federation of Exchanges’ Sustainability Working Group, the Taskforce on Scaling Voluntary Carbon Markets and the Futures Industry Association’s U.S. Commodities Climate Risk Working Group, but it does not spell out whether these forums are used to influence public policy, name any specific government bodies it approaches, or describe concrete actions such as letters, consultations or meetings. The company refers generally to “drafting guidelines for derivatives exchanges to promote sustainable development” and to broader topics like the EU ETS or CBAM that arise at conferences it hosts, yet it never identifies a particular bill, regulation or rule that it has sought to shape. Likewise, its stated objectives are broad aspirations—encouraging market liquidity in carbon offset futures and “advancing sustainable financial markets”—without linking those goals to specific legislative or regulatory changes. This high-level narrative signals some engagement with the climate-policy arena but lacks detail on the exact policies addressed, the methods used, and the outcomes pursued, leaving only a limited picture of the company’s lobbying transparency.
