Score 1 - Limited
Full assessment

Amcor PLC provides some insights into its advocacy and public policy efforts, particularly in relation to waste management, recycling, and climate impact. The company states that it "monitors the emerging policy landscape and engages in advocacy activities as necessary to ensure proposed policy solutions are effective, transparent and fair." It also highlights its engagement in "strategic advocacy work throughout FY24 to promote a regulatory environment that supports packaging sustainability and circularity objectives," which includes both direct lobbying and participation in industry organizations and trade associations. However, while these activities are described, there is no explicit mention of a governance process to ensure alignment of these lobbying activities with its climate change strategy. The evidence does not detail specific mechanisms, oversight structures, or monitoring processes for lobbying alignment. Although the Sustainability Steering Committee and the Sustainability Leadership Council are described as playing roles in advancing Amcor's sustainability strategy, there is no indication that these bodies oversee or review lobbying activities. Additionally, while the CEO and board are involved in sustainability discussions, there is no evidence that they are responsible for ensuring lobbying alignment with climate goals. The company does not disclose any formal process for reviewing or managing lobbying activities to ensure consistency with its climate commitments, nor does it provide evidence of actions taken to align its lobbying efforts with its stated climate objectives. This indicates limited governance in this area.
