Mainfreight Ltd emphasises climate-related risk management, stating that “Executive Management is responsible for ensuring the business is identifying, managing, and controlling climate-related risks alongside other risks” and that “The Board approves the Group Risk Management Process,” with the Audit Committee overseeing “all major risks and those escalated by management.” However, the company does not disclose any governance mechanisms specific to lobbying, and we found no evidence of oversight, review steps, or policies aligning its lobbying activities—direct or indirect—with its climate goals.

Mainfreight offers only limited transparency around its climate-related lobbying. The company explains that "We continue to lobby for the ability to move more domestic freight by rail particularly throughout New Zealand and Australia," signalling that it engages with transport-related climate policy, but it does not identify any specific legislation, regulation, or bill. It also fails to describe how it conducts this lobbying or who is being approached; no meetings, submissions, or named government bodies are mentioned. On desired outcomes, the company states that "It is critical for the wealth and productivity of all countries that rail services improve not only to reduce carbon emissions but also to improve the efficiency of their domestic transport infrastructures," which clarifies the general objective of expanding rail freight for environmental and economic reasons, yet gives no concrete policy amendments, timelines, or quantitative targets. Because the disclosures lack detail on precise policies, mechanisms and measurable goals, the overall level of transparency remains low.
