Tesco PLC

Tesco PLC demonstrates moderate governance over climate-related policy engagement by channeling its positions through internal committees and aligning with a Paris Agreement commitment. For instance, the company states, "We participate regularly in the most important industry platforms addressing the corporate climate agenda," and that "The views expressed in these initiatives always reflect the position of the group as agreed in the Steering Committees for Own Operations and Supply Chain Decarbonisation, as well as the Group Climate Committee," which indicates a clear committee-based sign-off process for its indirect engagement. It also confirms a public commitment to align its engagement with global climate goals, answering "Yes" to conducting activities "in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement." However, Tesco does not disclose any process for reviewing its direct lobbying activities, any standalone climate lobbying audit or report, nor name a specific individual responsible for overseeing lobbying alignment beyond its committee structures, indicating gaps in a comprehensive lobbying governance framework.
