Rentokil Initial PLC

Rentokil Initial has a basic internal rule that "does not permit political lobbying on its behalf by colleagues," limiting its engagement to "responding to new regulations through trade associations" while explicitly stating it "does not employ any public affairs consultancy as a means of influencing political decision-making." However, the company does not disclose any formal oversight or review process, nor does it name an individual or committee responsible for such governance. We found no evidence of any alignment of lobbying activities with climate objectives or any plan to adopt a public commitment to the Paris Agreement; indeed, the company confirms "No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years." This indicates that while Rentokil Initial has a clear rule restricting direct lobbying, it provides no further governing framework or monitoring mechanisms, particularly regarding climate lobbying.
