| Limited | The Rank Group PLC discloses details of its policy engagement through government bodies and trade associations and provides insight into its approach to climate commitments, referencing alignment with the Paris Agreement. The company states, “We attend regulator workshops, key stakeholder meetings and regulator conferences at every opportunity,” indicating a willingness to engage directly with relevant authorities. Alongside its stated aim of achieving Net Zero by 2050, the company describes how it uses external consultants to inform its climate-risk reporting, yet stops short of specifying any particular legislative changes it seeks concerning decarbonization. It also elaborates on its engagement in broader policy efforts, noting, “Rank’s contributions to the Government’s review have also extended to shaping responses from the Casino Chapter within the Betting and Gaming Council (‘BGC’), the BGC itself and also the Bingo Association,” and affirms, “We support the Government’s objective to strike the right balance between consumer freedoms and choice, and protection from harm.” While outlining important steps toward environmental responsibility and providing some insights into its advocacy activities, the company’s disclosures do not detail the specific public policy instruments it seeks to influence beyond committing to international climate goals and enhancing gambling regulations. | 1 |
