Direct Lobbying Transparency

| Moderate | Bellway PLC provides a moderate level of transparency on its climate-related lobbying. It explicitly identifies two UK policies it engages on—the “Building Regulations Part L” and the “Future Homes Standard”—and frames these within broader themes such as minimum energy-efficiency requirements and climate-adaptation measures for new housing, allowing readers to see which rule-makings the company is trying to influence. The channels it uses are set out in some detail: the company notes that its “Innovation and technical manager is an active member of the Future Homes Hub,” that staff sit on “embodied carbon and fabric sub-groups,” have been “asked to review consultations for the Future Homes Standard” for the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, belong to the SAP working group at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, and are “regularly invited to contribute to central and local government meetings, roundtables and industry events on climate-related policy.” These disclosures clarify both the mechanisms—working-group membership, consultation responses, and participation in official meetings—and the specific government departments and forums targeted. On policy positions, however, the company is less precise: it simply states that it “supports the changes to Building Regulations Part L as well as the Future Homes Standard” and seeks reforms that will “unlock land supply and support an increase in new housing,” without spelling out concrete amendments, numerical efficiency thresholds, or other measurable outcomes it is advocating. As a result, while its description of mechanisms and the policies themselves is reasonably detailed, the ultimate objectives Bellway is pursuing remain general rather than clearly defined. | 2 |
