Johnson Matthey PLC

Johnson Matthey discloses that "all our external advocacy is coordinated by our central Corporate Affairs function" and that "The Corporate Affairs Director reports into the Chief Sustainability Officer, who reports directly to the CEO," creating a clear reporting line for managing lobbying activities. It further states that "all our advocacy is in support of the products that we manufacture to help our customers reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, thus achieving their own net zero ambitions," demonstrating an explicit intent to align engagement with its climate strategy. The company also notes that "The Sustainability Council, which reports directly to the Group Leadership Team, is responsible for our strategy regards Emission Trading Schemes," suggesting some internal monitoring of climate-related policy advocacy. Nevertheless, the company does not disclose how these bodies systematically review or audit lobbying positions, offers no information on oversight of indirect lobbying via trade associations, and publishes no dedicated alignment report, so the extent of monitoring, corrective action, and board-level involvement remains unclear. Consequently, the disclosure shows a basic governance structure and stated alignment intent but lacks the detailed procedures and comprehensive coverage that would indicate a stronger lobbying-governance framework.
