Severn Trent PLC

Severn Trent articulates a clear link between its climate commitments and its policy engagement, noting that "we have a public, clear sustainability framework which outlines our ambitions" and that "we ensure that all engagement activities are appropriately reviewed and signed off." The company confirms that it "engage[s] with policy makers on policy / legislation that will have an impact on the climate - for example the new Environment Bill, and Defra consultations on environmental targets," demonstrating direct advocacy aligned to its climate strategy. However, the disclosure does not detail who conducts these reviews and sign-offs or describe specific oversight responsibilities, nor is there any mention of a process to govern or audit indirect lobbying through trade associations, and no independent climate-lobbying audit or report is provided.
