Direct Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Comment Score
Comprehensive FTI Consulting discloses a high level of detail on every aspect of its climate-policy lobbying. It names the specific measures it is working on, including India’s forthcoming “National Hydrogen Policy and Roadmap,” the creation of an “H2India Green Hydrogen Taskforce,” and associated programmes such as “Hydrogen-blended Compressed Natural Gas (H-CNG)” and “National Green Hydrogen Demonstration Projects.” The company also explains how it seeks to influence these measures: it describes “direct engagement” with the Indian Government’s “NITI Aayog, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Ministry of Heavy Industries, [and] Ministry of Road and Highways,” the formation of a dedicated taskforce, and “multi-stakeholder consultations” with more than 50 domestic and international energy companies, think-tanks and academics. Finally, it is explicit about the concrete outcomes it is pursuing, targeting “a four percent hydrogen share in the national energy mix by 2030,” “75,000 hydrogen-related direct and indirect jobs,” “GW-scale electrolyser capacity by 2030,” “10 national hydrogen infrastructure projects,” and “20 percent hydrogen blending in natural gas by 2030.” This combination of clearly identified policies, well-described engagement channels and specific, measurable policy objectives demonstrates comprehensive transparency in the company’s climate lobbying disclosures. 4
Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Comment Score
None FTI Consulting discloses that “The Nominating, Corporate Governance and Social Responsibility Committee of FTI Consulting’s Board of Directors oversees FTI Consulting’s ESG strategy and performance, including: overseeing reports to the Board and other interested Committees, regarding social responsibility, human capital and environmental (including climate-related issues), social and governance (‘ESG’) factors,” and that “The Committee oversees ESG-related policies and procedures and SEC reporting,” while noting that “The Company’s Audit Committee provides oversight of risks more generally, which would include climate-related risks.” However, the company does not disclose any governance process that specifically manages or aligns its lobbying or policy-advocacy activities—direct or through industry associations—with its climate commitments, and it confirms that it has “no public commitment or position statement to conduct ... engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement” and “we do not plan to have one in the next two years.” We found no evidence of any named individual or formal body responsible for reviewing or approving lobbying positions or of any process for monitoring or managing lobbying to ensure consistency with its climate strategy. 0
