Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Moderate	Vukile has established a formal structure for its climate-related engagement, noting that the “Senior Manager: Energy and Sustainability is responsible for the day-to-day management of environmental matters” and holds “weekly meetings with the ESG Steering Committee to discuss and evaluate all ESG related activities, including controversies.” The disclosures state that “Vukile engages with Government, Regulators, Industry Bodies and Business Partners on policy issues impacting the business relating to water, energy and waste,” and that “feedback to the board appointed SEHRC is through the CEO who is appraised by the chair of the ESG Steering Committee.” However, the company does not disclose any specific policy or detailed procedure to ensure these lobbying efforts are aligned with its climate commitments, nor does it describe a process for reviewing or managing direct and indirect lobbying alignment, and we found no evidence of a dedicated audit, board sign-off on advocacy positions, or criteria for assessing its participation in trade associations against its climate strategy. This indicates moderate governance with clear oversight bodies and regular review meetings but limited detail on the actual alignment of lobbying activities with climate goals. View Sources	C
