Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Workspace Group PLC provides limited detail on governance of its climate-related lobbying and policy engagement. It affirms a public commitment by responding "Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement?[…]Yes." The company highlights that "Workspace has actively been engaging directly with the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) through participating in the consultation on the trajectory for minimum energy efficiency standards (MEES) in non-domestic privately rented properties, which has now be approved," and notes it "is also part of the Better Building Partnership who respond to policy makers on behalf of its members." However, the company does not disclose any formal oversight structure or specific individual responsible for reviewing or approving these activities, nor does it outline a process for ongoing monitoring or managing alignment of its direct and indirect lobbying with its climate commitments. We found no evidence of a review mechanism or governance body that ensures consistency between lobbying efforts and its climate strategy. View Sources	D
