Taylor Wimpey PLC

The Board of Taylor Wimpey plc will monitor the effectiveness of this Policy and will review the Policy on a regular basis and at least every two years [...] Engage with government, industry organisations and other relevant groups to create implementable climate related policies for Taylor Wimpey and the homebuilding industry as a whole.

## Political engagement

Regulation has an impact on our business and we think it is important to share our views with policy makers at the local, regional and national level.

This includes direct engagement such as responding to Government consultations, engagement with local and regional government through the planning process and engagement via our membership of trade associations.

We engage with local authorities, parish councils, Homes England, the Greater London Authority (GLA), regional government, the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC), Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), Nature England and other public sector organisations to understand their priorities and share our views.

Public policy work is carried out in a way that reflects our values and cultural principles and key policies such as our Business Conduct Policy. We strive for clear, open and accurate communication. It is our policy not to make donations to political parties or organisations.

As well as site-specific engagement, we participate in the development of strategic frameworks, Local Plans and Neighbourhood Plans, which consider broader development needs and enable local people to shape new developments in their area. This often includes working closely with local authorities to develop the local design code as part of the local development plan.

**Industry association memberships**

We engage with Government through our membership of industry organisations such as the Home Builders Federation (HBF) and the British Property Federation (BPF). Regional businesses are also members of trade associations, for example our Scottish businesses are members of Homes for Scotland.

Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]We understand that the effects of climate change could impact our business and the homes that we build. We recognise that the UK Government will need to introduce significant new regulation if it is to reach its binding carbon targets. This regulation will impact our business. A dedicated team within Taylor Wimpey is responsible for overseeing engagement with policy makers and trade associations on climate change policy. The same team is also part of Taylor Wimpey's Legacy, Engagement and Action for the Future (LEAF) committee and responsible for developing climate change related strategy within the Company. This streamlined communication process ensures that any engagement remains consistent with Taylor Wimpey's strategic approach to sustainability and climate change.

Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement?[…]No, but we plan to have one in the next two years
