Direct Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Comment Score
Limited Cranswick provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. It indicates an intention to “join forces to lobby government on the key policy changes we need to support UK agriculture,” signalling that it engages in lobbying activity, but it does not describe how it does so (e.g., meetings, consultations or letters) and names only the generic target of “government.” The company makes no reference to any specific legislation or regulatory proposals; instead, it refers broadly to supporting UK agriculture and achieving Net Zero emissions by 2040, without identifying particular policies or programmes it has sought to influence. Likewise, the desired outcomes remain aspirational—such as creating “dedicated, transparent supply chains” and embedding sustainability in “policies and terms of trade”—with no concrete policy changes, amendments, or measurable targets spelled out. Consequently, the disclosure offers only a general acknowledgement of climate-policy lobbying without the detail needed to understand what the company is advocating, how it is lobbying, or what precise results it is pursuing. 1
Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Comment Score
Limited Cranswick PLC discloses a public commitment to conduct its engagement activities “in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” indicating a stated intention to align its policy engagement with climate objectives. However, the company does not disclose any processes or mechanisms for overseeing or monitoring this commitment, such as a review procedure, formal sign-off, or internal governance body. We found no evidence of how direct or indirect lobbying activities are managed to ensure consistency with the Paris Agreement, nor is there any named individual or committee responsible for reviewing or enforcing its engagement alignment. 1
