Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Comprehensive	Jones Lang LaSalle Inc (JLL) has demonstrated a comprehensive level of transparency in disclosing its climate lobbying activities. The company has clearly identified specific climate policies it has engaged with, such as the "U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission File No. S7-10-22: Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors," the "California Zero Emissions Buildings Market Development Act," and legislation enabling the "Energy Star's Charter Tenant project." These disclosures include detailed information about the policy focus and geographic scope, showcasing a high level of specificity. JLL has also provided clear details about its lobbying mechanisms and targets, including submitting comments to the "U.S. SEC," direct engagement with the EPA and the Real Estate Roundtable, and testifying in front of Congress. Additionally, the company disclosed its participation in state-level initiatives, such as supporting clean transportation in Massachusetts and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. The outcomes sought by JLL are equally transparent, with the company outlining specific goals such as "halving global emissions by 2030," "achieving net-zero emissions no later than 2050," and supporting the California Zero Emissions Buildings Market Development Act to reduce emissions from buildings. Furthermore, JLL has been instrumental in the passage of legislation enabling the Energy Star's Charter Tenant project, aimed at enhancing energy efficiency and high-performance tenant spaces. These disclosures collectively reflect JLL's comprehensive approach to climate lobbying transparency.	4

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Strong	JLL has disclosed a defined governance process to ensure alignment of its climate lobbying activities with its sustainability goals, demonstrating strong governance. The company has identified the "Global Sustainability team" as responsible for overseeing stakeholder engagement activities, including participation in industry-level working groups and organizations. This team collaborates across the business to "track engagements at the local level," ensuring alignment with sustainability goals. Furthermore, JLL applies a detailed evaluation framework to assess engagement activities, considering factors such as "risk mitigation," "congruence with JLL-stated sustainability goals," and "likelihood of future regulatory action." If an activity is deemed inconsistent with its strategy, the decision is escalated to the Board, which has the final authority to determine whether to proceed. While the evidence does not disclose a specific governance process for climate lobbying alignment, the described mechanisms for stakeholder engagement and sustainability alignment indicate robust monitoring, accountability, and oversight structures that extend to climate-related activities.	3
