Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
Limited PageGroup indicates an intention to align its policy engagement with climate goals, noting that it has "publicly committed to that during 2022, we will investigate science-based targets to ensure that our strategy to reduce emissions is in line with the Paris Agreement goals" and confirms that it "does have a public commitment … to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement". It also states that it "collaborate[s] with stakeholders including governments, non-governmental organisations, industry bodies and many other businesses to jointly work toward supporting transition to [a] Net Zero economy" and highlights that members of its Sustainability team participate in IEMA, an association that "advocates on behalf of its members" and has "declared a climate and environmental emergency". While these statements show a broad commitment to pursue climate-aligned advocacy, the company does not disclose any formal governance structure—there is no mention of a board committee, executive, or other body that reviews lobbying alignment, nor any description of monitoring mechanisms, corrective actions, or periodic assessments covering either direct lobbying or trade-association positions. Consequently, the disclosure demonstrates only a high-level commitment without evidence of a systematic process, individual accountability, or transparent review to ensure lobbying consistency with its climate strategy.

Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
Limited PageGroup PLC provides a limited level of transparency around its climate-related lobbying. The company explains that it is active on the “green jobs agenda” and climate change adaptation, indicating engagement in broad policy areas, but it does not name any specific bills, regulations or government programmes it has tried to influence. It outlines some methods—such as hosting a green-jobs roundtable and presenting sessions at the Anthropy conference—demonstrating direct engagement mechanisms, yet it does not identify the government departments, legislators or other policymaking bodies it addressed through these activities. Finally, the disclosures refer to a general aim of promoting a fair transition to a net-zero economy and mitigating employment risks from climate change, but they stop short of stating precise legislative or regulatory outcomes the company seeks. Together, these elements show acknowledgement of climate-policy engagement but provide only high-level information about what is being lobbied, how, and to what end.
