How We Can Help
At Danu Insight, we harness advanced data analytics to illuminate the impact of corporate lobbying on financial and environmental policies. Our services support stakeholders across the financial ecosystem—helping corporations, asset managers, asset owners, regulators, and the climate community drive transparency, accountability, and alignment with the Paris Agreement.
​Asset Managers
Our scalable lobbying analysis empowers asset managers to effectively select engagement targets and gain in-depth insights into companies' lobbying activities. This detailed information enables them to take informed actions to align their portfolios' lobbying footprint with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Our data solutions support ESG integration, offering equity portfolio managers comprehensive data on lobbying activities to assess reputational risks and enhance investment strategies. Additionally, we provide governance insights, helping stewardship managers verify the authenticity of corporate communications and ensure alignment with public investor commitments.
​
Corporations
We conduct thorough audits of both direct and indirect climate lobbying activities, providing corporations with a detailed understanding of their global lobbying efforts. This involves identifying not only their own climate lobbying initiatives, but also the lobbying activities of their various trade associations around the world. By monitoring these extensive connections, we help corporations identify inconsistencies and ensure that their lobbying aligns with their values. We also assist third-party consultants in this process, promoting adherence to the Responsible Policy Engagement (RPE) principles and encouraging greater transparency and integrity in corporate operations.
​
Regulators
The political lobbying data we provide allows regulators to consider lobbying activities when assessing institutional investors and ESG funds for the first time. Previously, it was difficult to evaluate this crucial aspect of corporate behavior. Our data uniquely identifies any disparities between investors' and funds' public ESG commitments and the political lobbying activities of the companies in their portfolios.
​
Asset Owners
We provide asset owners with a thorough understanding of climate lobbying across their investment landscape in three key ways:
1. Direct and Indirect Company Lobbying: We offer detailed analysis of the lobbying activities of companies that asset owners hold either directly or indirectly. Our data enables asset owners to gain insight into these companies' lobbying efforts and determine whether they align with climate goals.
2. Asset Manager Lobbying Activities: Using advanced data collection and analysis methods, we can help asset owners scrutinise the climate lobbying activities of the asset managers they employ. This allows asset owners to evaluate whether asset managers' own lobbying practices are consistent with the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
3. Stewardship Quality Assessment: We evaluate the quality of climate lobbying stewardship provided by asset managers. Our data enables asset owners to assess whether asset managers are effectively addressing lobbying risks in their portfolio and managing them actively and proportionately.
​
​​
The Climate Community
Our main focus is to make a significant impact on the climate system. We are dedicated to sharing as much of our data as possible with the public to maximize its reach and influence. We offer detailed insights into the lobbying activities of corporations, helping to identify and challenge companies whose actions are most at odds with the Paris Agreement. By providing our data for free to think tanks and non-governmental organizations upon request, we aim to work together with the broader climate community to advocate for stronger climate policies that address the urgent situation.
Through these tailored services, Danu Insight is not just a data provider but a strategic partner in reshaping the financial landscape to support a sustainable future. Each offering is designed to empower our clients with the knowledge to make informed decisions that drive systemic change.​
