Score 1 - Limited
Full assessment

Cairn Homes PLC provides limited insight into how it governs its lobbying activities to align with its climate change strategy. The company notes that "We regularly engage with key policy makers at local and national government level through proactive and open communication on matters of common interest in the residential construction industry" and that this engagement occurs "through membership of industry lobbying groups," yet it does not disclose any process for reviewing or approving those policy engagements, nor does it identify a specific individual or body responsible for ensuring that its direct or indirect lobbying aligns with its climate goals. While it affirms "Yes" when asked "Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement?," there is no accompanying oversight mechanism, audit process, or defined policy detailing how lobbying positions are assessed for consistency with its CO2 reduction commitment. Consequently, the governance framework for lobbying remains undefined and unsubstantiated in the available disclosures.
