National Grid PLC

National Grid has implemented a foundational framework for lobbying governance through its "Global Corporate Policy on Responsible Lobbying and Political Engagement," which "ensures that we regularly review" its political engagement commitments. It demonstrates a mechanism for aligning its indirect lobbying activities via its "Trade Association Review," noting that "we have conducted a review of relevant organisations and assessed their alignment with climate related policy positions and commitments" and that "full details on our findings, as well as our process for managing partial alignment moving forward, are in our Trade Association Review." The company has publicly affirmed that it aligns its advocacy with climate goals, responding "Yes" when asked if it commits to engage "in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement." National Grid also describes how Corporate Affairs "coordinates communication relating to our climate change policy, strategy and material activities, checking our messaging through internal governance processes to enable us to provide clear, coherent and consistent messaging to our various stakeholders," and explains that the "Corporate Affairs and Legal departments work closely to ensure full compliance with U.S. law" and require employees to undergo training on these policies. However, the company does not disclose a named individual or formal committee responsible for overseeing lobbying alignment, nor does it outline a specific process or sign-off mechanism for its direct lobbying activities, leaving that aspect of its governance framework unspecified.
