Currys PLC

Currys PLC has established a process to align its policy engagement with its climate goals, noting that "when we look to engage on policies and regulations, directly or indirectly, we review the policy/regulation in question as part of weekly meetings between the ESG and PR teams to ensure strategic alignment." This demonstrates a concrete mechanism by which the company filters its advocacy to support its "net zero emissions by 2040" target. The oversight of this process appears to sit within its broader sustainability governance structures, as "the Board established the Environment, Social and Governance ('ESG') Committee of the Board to approve the Group's ESG strategy and oversee the delivery of it" and the "Group Sustainability Leadership Team (GSLT)" chaired by Paula Coughlan reviews progress against climate targets. However, while these bodies cover ESG risk and strategy, the company does not disclose how it governs indirect lobbying via trade associations or the criteria used to assess third-party policy engagement, nor does it describe a specific review cycle or reporting framework exclusively dedicated to monitoring lobbying activities. Moreover, there is no detail on a dedicated lobbying audit or a named forum solely responsible for aligning its advocacy with the Paris Agreement or other climate policy objectives.
