Capita PLC

Capita PLC appears to have a robust governance process for climate-related lobbying activities, with clearly defined oversight and regular review mechanisms. The process is "led by the Head of Public Affairs and Stakeholder Relations and is fed into by the Environment and wider Responsible Business teams," ensuring that "Climate Change / Net Zero" is "a regular agenda item as part of these engagements." The company further explains that "Activities influencing policy development are implemented in a structured way" and are "led/overseen by our Executive Committee and Head of Public Affairs," who "ensure that messaging is aligned to corporate objectives including our 1.5C aligned SBTi approved net zero target." This framework governs both direct engagements - such as sharing "a myriad of updates with HM Government and wider stakeholders regarding our climate change / net zero strategy" and reporting progress "as part of the Strategic Supplier Annual Review we share updates with the Government vis a vis our progress against greenhouse gas emissions reduction target" - and indirect lobbying through trade bodies and roundtables, including attendance at a "joint BEIS / Cabinet Office roundtable on: Strategic Suppliers Business Leaders Decarbonising Supply Chains." However, the company does not disclose a dedicated climate lobbying audit or public report evaluating alignment, nor does it specify criteria for assessing or exiting trade association memberships whose policy positions may conflict with its net zero objectives.
