RS GROUP PLC

ISIN: GB0003096442 | United Kingdom | Europe
Score 3 - Strong
Full assessment

RS GROUP PLC outlines a clear governance process for ensuring its lobbying aligns with its climate strategy, noting that "Our VP Social Responsibility and Sustainability and our VP Global EHS work to ensure the Group's direct and indirect engagement activities, which influence climate change policy are consistent with the Group's overall climate change-related strategy," and that "the process is supported through the Group's ESG leadership committee which is chaired by a non-executive director," complemented by investor relations and public relations teams to "identify the key contacts for engagement with regard to climate change." This demonstrates oversight of both direct and indirect lobbying channels by named executives and a formal committee, establishing a common approach to policy engagement. However, the company does not disclose any dedicated audit or third-party review of its climate lobbying alignment, no public report or detailed monitoring schedule is provided, and we found no evidence of criteria for evaluating or exiting associations whose policy positions diverge from its climate commitments.
