Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Bidvest Group Ltd/The does not disclose a formal governance framework for its lobbying activities or for ensuring alignment of external policy engagement with its climate commitments. While the company describes that “The Group Social, ethics and transformation committee assists the Board with its oversight of social, ethical and transformation matters” and that “this framework guides our interactions with related stakeholders” within its ESG Framework, these disclosures relate to organizational ethics and general stakeholder engagement rather than the oversight of direct or indirect lobbying. The company explicitly states “No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years” in response to having a position statement aligned with the Paris Agreement, and we found no evidence of any policy, sign-off process, board-level review, or named individual overseeing lobbying activities or verifying that trade association memberships and advocacy positions are consistent with its climate objectives.

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	The disclosure describes a lobbying effort focused on amending Health and Safety Executive guidance so that men, as well as women, can dispose of incontinence waste with dignity, an issue unrelated to climate or energy policy. Because the company provides no information on any lobbying directed at climate-related laws, regulations or government programmes, it does not identify any climate policy targets, mechanisms or outcomes. Consequently, there is no evidence of transparency regarding climate-policy lobbying activities.	E
