Preventable Surprises is delighted to launch the Corporate Lobbying Alignment Project. This new applied research and engagement project will work to make corporate political capture a central component of investors’ approach to ESG stewardship and integration. It will leverage information on the state of play for key sectors and share lessons learned from past investor engagements. Through research interviews and a series of events, we will engage with the global investment community to help prioritise areas for action.
