Halma provides some insight into how it governs climate-related engagement, noting that "Climate-related engagement surveys and other disclosures are completed at a Group-level by the Sustainability team… The use of a single data source and single contact point for external reporting ensures that consistency is applied." Oversight is assigned to a named senior leader: "The Group General Counsel (GGC)… reviews key surveys and disclosures, including commitments relating to climate change, and is a member of the plc Board so is aware of the Board's strategy and approach," which indicates that responsibility for monitoring alignment sits with an executive who can escalate issues to the board. The company adds that "Senior leadership-level engagement with NGOs and other groups on behalf of Halma plc is generally carried out by Executive Board-level management" and that interaction with Operating Company leadership "helps reduce the risk that these activities are not carried out in line with Halma's overall climate strategy." This shows a procedural mechanism to keep direct engagement in step with the company’s climate commitments. However, Halma does not disclose any systematic review or publication that evaluates the alignment of its lobbying positions, nor does it describe how it manages or assesses the stances of trade associations or other indirect channels. Therefore, while there is evidence of a defined process and identified oversight for climate-related engagement, the disclosure lacks detail on monitoring outcomes, trade-association alignment, or any formal audit, indicating only a moderate level of lobbying governance transparency.
