Lobbying Governance

Aston Martin’s disclosure indicates that it has implemented an internal oversight mechanism for its direct policy advocacy by stating that “All engagement with policy makers is coordinated by the government affairs function which ensures consistency with the climate change strategy.” This suggests that the company has designated a formal body to oversee how its lobbying aligns with its climate change objectives. However, the company does not disclose any processes for governing indirect lobbying through trade or industry associations, nor does it provide details of a monitoring or review procedure to assess ongoing alignment. It also does not disclose a public commitment to conduct its engagement in line with the Paris Agreement, merely noting “No, but we plan to have one in the next two years.” We found no evidence of a detailed audit, named individual governance, or an exit policy for associations whose positions conflict with its climate goals, indicating gaps in the transparency and completeness of its climate lobbying governance framework.
