Spark New Zealand Ltd

Spark New Zealand indicates that its climate lobbying is managed centrally, stating that "our engagement with regulators and law makers on climate change is managed by our shared Corporate Relations and Sustainability function, under the leadership of the Corporate Relations and Sustainability Director." However, the company does not disclose a formal policy or process to ensure that these engagement activities align with its overall climate change strategy, nor does it describe any monitoring or review mechanisms for direct or indirect lobbying activities. We found no evidence of a dedicated climate-lobbying audit or a specific alignment policy, and the company does not disclose any criteria for assessing its participation in trade associations or how it addresses conflicts between its climate objectives and indirect lobbying through industry groups.
