Drax Group PLC

Drax discloses a structured process to keep its policy advocacy aligned with its climate strategy, noting that "An annual Group engagement strategy is formulated ... This is presented and signed off by the Board and Executive Committee and then cascaded to business units," which indicates both a recurring review mechanism and top-level oversight. The company adds that "We have a dedicated External Affairs team that is responsible for coordinating external messaging and engagement such that it is consistent with our climate change strategy," showing an operational function charged with monitoring day-to-day lobbying activity. Material used for engagement is "reviewed regularly via internal working groups to ensure it is consistent with our climate change strategy," providing evidence of an internal checkpoint that goes beyond one-off approvals. Responsibility is further anchored in the broader sustainability structure: "the Board is ultimately responsible for sustainability... The Chief Sustainability Officer is also a member of the Executive Committee, and has established an internal structure to ensure delivery of our sustainability aims," underscoring named individuals and committees involved in oversight. However, the disclosure does not describe how Drax evaluates or manages its indirect lobbying through trade associations, nor does it mention conducting or publishing a formal climate-lobbying alignment review, so the governance currently appears focused on direct engagement and internal messaging rather than a comprehensive assessment of all lobbying channels.
