KMD Brands discloses that it "has developed a detailed and rigorous internal framework to ensure that our decision making on external commitments and engagement activities are consistent with our overall climate change strategy," and notes that "our engagement activities are periodically screened for consistency with our overall climate change strategy," indicating some internal process to check that policy engagement aligns with its climate goals. It also states that "governance over climate change-related issues is now more centrally coordinated," suggesting there is at least an internal coordination mechanism. However, the company does not disclose who (individual or committee) is responsible for this screening, provides no detail on how the framework operates, and offers no information on how it governs either its direct lobbying efforts or its membership in trade or industry associations beyond mentioning participation with "GBCA, Textile Exchange and APC." Consequently, while there is a stated intention and periodic review to align external engagement with climate strategy, the absence of a described oversight body, monitoring procedures, or evidence of managing indirect lobbying means the publicly available governance appears limited.
