Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Hammerson PLC’s disclosures focus exclusively on its sustainability oversight, with the Board and its Group Executive Committee having “overall accountability for climate risk and wider sustainability matters” and delegating climate-related risk management to the Chief Financial Officer and the newly appointed Director of Audit, Enterprise Risk and Sustainability, both of which ensure “sustainability culture” is embedded through the Group Management Committee and the Investment Committee. However, the company does not disclose any internal mechanisms, oversight structures or accountability measures specific to lobbying activities, nor does it reference the governance of direct or indirect lobbying, the alignment of lobbying efforts with climate policy, or name any individual or formal body overseeing lobbying. We found no evidence of any process for reviewing or managing lobbying activities, indicating that Hammerson PLC has not disclosed a lobbying governance framework. View Sources	E

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Hammerson PLC offers only limited insight into its climate-policy lobbying. It does identify two concrete initiatives it has engaged with—the EU Sustainable Finance Taxonomy and the IFRS consultation on sustainability reporting—demonstrating some willingness to name specific policy processes. Beyond noting that it contributes to consultation responses and participates through industry leadership roles, however, it does not reveal which government departments, regulators, or individual lawmakers it approaches, leaving its lobbying channels and targets largely opaque. The company also describes its aim in broad terms of supporting stronger sustainability and net-zero frameworks, but provides no measurable objectives, preferred amendments, or other explicit outcomes it is seeking from these policy engagements. Together, these gaps mean stakeholders receive only a partial picture of Hammerson’s climate-related lobbying activities.	D
