Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
Moderate Tate & Lyle PLC outlines processes to integrate climate considerations into its indirect lobbying activities—for example, it notes that “Tate & Lyle employees participate in several trade associations, including , but not limited to the Corn Refiner Association, Food Drink Europe and Starch Europe” and that “the Director of Sustainability participates on sub-committees as applicable and Tate & Lyle representatives share relevant drafts, meeting notes, etc. on sustainability-related topics to ensure alignment.” It further states that “the Director of Sustainability and Environmental Manager participate on respective Sustainability and Environmental sub-committees,” indicating named individuals in oversight, and confirms “Yes” to having a public commitment to conduct engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement. However, the company does not disclose any process for reviewing or managing its direct lobbying efforts, no board or executive sign-off on advocacy plans, no periodic climate-lobbying audits, and no mechanism to address potential conflicts with industry association positions, which indicates that while there is some governance in place for indirect lobbying, a comprehensive, structured governance framework is not presented.
