Lobbying Governance

Metro Inc. demonstrates a structured governance framework for corporate responsibility, including climate-related issues, but there is limited evidence of a specific lobbying governance process. The company outlines that its "Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee is responsible for the oversight of the Company's activities and disclosure with regards to corporate responsibility, including ESG matters," and that the Board of Directors approves corporate responsibility plans and reports. Additionally, the Environmental Committee oversees the application of the Environmental Policy and reports annually to the Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee. However, while these structures address climate-related risks and opportunities, there is no explicit mention of processes or mechanisms to govern lobbying activities, whether direct or indirect, or to ensure alignment of lobbying with climate goals. The evidence does not describe any specific oversight, monitoring, or alignment processes for lobbying activities, nor does it identify individuals or committees tasked with this responsibility. Furthermore, the company states that it does not have a public commitment to align its engagement activities with the goals of the Paris Agreement and does not plan to adopt one in the next two years. This indicates that while Metro Inc. has robust governance for climate-related risks, it does not disclose a governance framework specifically for lobbying activities.
