Pinnacle Investment Management Group provides a brief statement indicating that it seeks to keep its policy engagement in step with its climate strategy, noting that it has “process(es)… to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy” and that “Pinnacle will continuously support and participate in industry-wide collaborations including; the Financial Services Council ESG Working Group, Responsible Investment Association of Australia and the Pinnacle Group ESG Working Group.” This reference shows the company acknowledges the need to align its external engagement (which can include indirect lobbying through industry bodies) with its climate objectives, indicating some level of governance over how it engages. However, the disclosure gives no detail about how this alignment process is carried out, who reviews or approves lobbying positions, or whether direct lobbying activities are covered; additionally, the company states “No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years” when asked if it has a public commitment to align engagement with the Paris Agreement, and we found no mention of a designated individual or board committee overseeing lobbying alignment. Overall, the company demonstrates only a limited acknowledgement of alignment but provides no concrete governance structures, monitoring mechanisms, or oversight responsibilities to manage either direct or indirect climate-related lobbying activities.
