Freightways Group Ltd discloses robust oversight of climate-related risks but does not disclose any governance processes for lobbying or political advocacy. For instance, it states that “Freightways’ Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the management of risk, including those related to climate change” and that “the Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for the management, monitoring, and reporting of risks, including those that are climate-related,” yet there is no reference to any policy or procedure governing the alignment of direct or indirect lobbying activities with climate or other company objectives. We found no evidence of any board or committee oversight of lobbying efforts, no dedicated policy requiring sign-off or review of external advocacy, and no mention of any individual responsible for lobbying alignment, indicating the company does not disclose a lobbying governance framework.

Freightways Group provides only fragmented insight into its climate-policy engagement. It notes that it has “engag[ed] with the government about commercial infrastructure for EVs” and references broad policy frameworks such as the New Zealand Emissions Reduction Plan and the Climate Change Response Act 2002, yet it never clarifies whether it actively sought to influence these measures or any other specific legislation. No details are offered on how the company lobbies—there is no description of letters, meetings, submissions, or industry-association activity, nor are particular agencies, ministries, or legislators identified as targets. The company’s stated ambition is limited to generic objectives like transitioning its fleet to low-emission vehicles and cutting Scope 1-3 emissions by 50 % by 2035, without tying these aspirations to concrete legislative changes or regulatory outcomes it hopes to secure. As a result, the disclosures reveal minimal transparency on the substance, methods, and goals of Freightways’ climate-related lobbying.
