Brambles Ltd
- Direct lobbying governance
- Regular monitoring cycle
Brambles gives only a brief outline of how it governs its policy engagement, stating that it "mainly engages with policy makers and organizations to promote the circular economy ... which is consistent with its climate strategy and a decarbonization of the economy," and that the "Chief Compliance Officer is responsible for ensuring that all policy-related activities are in line with Brambles' strategic objectives and internal policies," while noting that "our Global Head for Sustainability also leads Government Affairs in Europe" and that "all employees, including the Government Affairs team, have to follow our policies." These disclosures indicate that at least one named senior officer has oversight and that the company expects lobbying activity to align with broader strategy, but they do not describe any formal review cycle, monitoring tools, or criteria for assessing either direct advocacy positions or the stances of trade associations. There is no reference to a climate-lobbying audit, no explanation of how inconsistencies would be identified or remedied, and no evidence that the Board or a committee receives regular reports on lobbying alignment, so the governance of lobbying - particularly climate-related lobbying - remains only lightly sketched rather than systematically documented.
This assessment is part of the Lobbying Governance Index, covering 8,500 companies scored on whether they have processes to oversee their climate lobbying. See all companies in Asia-Pacific or all companies in Australia.
