Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Moderate	Pets at Home Group has established a moderate governance framework for climate-related policy engagement, overseen by an ESG committee "which includes the Chairman, CEO and CFO in addition to other non executive Directors," with "the CEO has overall responsibility for climate change to enable broad oversight of any potential in consistencies" and supported by "the specialist role of our Group Head of Social Value." The company maintains "a centralised list of entities with we engage such as trade associations, businesses and NGOs, which is regularly reviewed and challenged to ensure we are engaging with those with most material to our business and those with the most influence in areas which matter to our stakeholders," and confirms that "Partnerships and engagements relating to climate are approved by our Group Head of Social Value." These disclosures demonstrate clear accountability and a process for aligning its indirect lobbying with its climate strategy. We found no evidence of a dedicated process for direct lobbying oversight, no published audit of climate-lobbying alignment, and the company does not disclose any procedure for addressing potential conflicts with trade associations whose positions may diverge from its climate objectives.
