Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Smith & Nephew PLC appears to have no internal governance process or oversight mechanisms for climate-related lobbying. When asked if it has "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement," the company responded, "No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years." The company does not disclose any policy, review process, or responsible individual or committee to align its lobbying—direct or through industry associations—with climate objectives. We found no evidence of monitoring procedures, board sign-off, or any mechanism to ensure alignment of its advocacy with climate policy, indicating a lack of transparency and accountability in its lobbying governance.
