Berkeley Group Holdings PLC

Berkeley Group Holdings PLC has established a strong governance process to align its direct and indirect lobbying with its climate strategy. In particular, the company ensures its responses to Government consultations are consistent with its climate objectives by having its "Group Head of Sustainability [work] with our Technical Committee and Land and Planning Committee to respond to the consultations on behalf of the company," and it actively manages its trade-association engagement by being "a Gold Leaf member of the UKGBC and funding their climate change programme, 'Advancing Net Zero'." Moreover, as "a Programme Partner, the Berkeley Group's Head of Sustainability contributes to UKGBC research and outputs, further ensuring consistency with our climate strategy," and it maintains a "public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement." However, the company does not disclose any publicly available audit or review of its climate-lobbying activities, nor does it describe a board-level sign-off process or a regular monitoring timetable for these engagement and alignment procedures.
