Diageo PLC
- Direct lobbying governance
- Regular monitoring cycle
Diageo provides some evidence of processes to align its policy engagement with its climate priorities, noting that "All opportunity and risk is assessed and detailed quarterly in a public policy dashboard to ensure the right resources are deployed against each," and that "we monitor and engage when necessary as Diageo or through relevant industry associations on ESG regulations that impact our operations around scope 1, 2 and 3. This is always done in full alignment with Diageo's Society 2030 climate priorities." This indicates a concrete mechanism for monitoring both direct engagement with regulators and indirect lobbying via industry bodies against its broader climate agenda. However, the company does not disclose a specific individual or formal body responsible for overseeing or reviewing climate-related lobbying alignment, nor does it describe a dedicated review or audit process for its lobbying activities or publish a standalone climate-lobbying report.
