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 |
