ASOS PLC does not disclose any governance processes specifically addressing political or climate-related lobbying activities. While the company has established an ESG Committee described as “the highest level of governance...in relation to the Group’s ESG strategy and activities” that meets “four times per year” and is supported by internal FWI and Governance Working Groups chaired by the General Counsel & Company Secretary, the evidence includes no reference to oversight, monitoring or alignment of lobbying—direct or indirect—with its ESG or climate policy. We found no evidence of a dedicated lobbying governance policy, no mention of a named individual or committee assigned to review lobbying positions, and no described process for assessing trade association memberships or advocacy alignment.

ASOS PLC provides only high-level statements about climate engagement, without substantive detail on its lobbying activities. The company references participation in voluntary initiatives such as the British Retail Consortium’s Climate Action Roadmap and “Textiles 2030,” but it does not identify any specific pieces of legislation, regulations, or government programmes it has sought to influence. Its description of engagement mechanisms is equally vague, speaking broadly of “collaboration with industry bodies and civil-society organisations, such as the Carbon Trust and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation,” yet offering no information on direct lobbying actions, consultation submissions, or the government bodies addressed. Finally, while ASOS reiterates corporate goals like reaching net-zero emissions by 2030 and moving toward circular systems, it stops short of explaining what concrete policy outcomes it supports or opposes to advance those goals. Overall, the disclosures give only a limited picture of the company’s climate-related lobbying transparency.
