Full assessment

City Developments Ltd discloses broad sustainability oversight but provides almost no detail on how it governs lobbying activities. The company states that it has "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement" and explains that it "started conducting materiality assessments annually" and tracks progress through its "CDL Future Value 2030 Sustainability Blueprint", which it says guides its "sustainability advocacy". However, these references describe general sustainability management rather than a specific mechanism for monitoring or aligning lobbying. While the CSR & CG Committee "meets at least once a year to review CDL's sustainability performance" and, since 2016, the sustainability function "comes under the direct supervision of the Chief Executive Officer", the evidence does not indicate that these bodies review or control policy-advocacy positions, trade-association memberships, or any other form of lobbying. We found no disclosure of a dedicated procedure to evaluate direct or indirect lobbying, no mention of engaging with or exiting trade associations over climate misalignment, and no identification of an individual or committee tasked specifically with lobbying alignment. Accordingly, the company demonstrates only a high-level commitment to align unspecified "engagement activities" with Paris goals, without detailing governance structures or monitoring processes for lobbying alignment.
