Balfour Beatty PLC
- Paris Agreement alignment
- Direct lobbying governance
Balfour Beatty's disclosures suggest limited governance of climate-related lobbying, with engagement activities described but oversight and alignment controls not clearly defined. It explains that "Balfour Beatty engagement activities are managed centrally and at a business unit and Project level" and that "Our Public policy team engages directly with the UK government in relation to climate related issues", demonstrating structured engagement channels. The company also states "Yes" to having "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement", which indicates a high-level pledge to align lobbying with the Paris goals. However, the company does not disclose any formal review or monitoring process for lobby alignment, does not name an individual or committee responsible for oversight, and provides no evidence of mechanisms to ensure both direct and indirect lobbying uniformly support its climate strategy.
