This report provides the state of play on the extent to which large US companies are supporting the passage of science-based climate change policies, and where their policy advocacy efforts may be undermining their own best interests, as well as the broader interests of the economy and the communities in which they operate.
The analysis also provides insights into where corporate lobbying on climate change policy may be misaligned with the publicly stated goals companies are setting on climate change, and their evaluations of their own climate change risk exposure. It highlights hurdles that are preventing corporate adoption of more responsible policy engagement practices.
The report and dataset can be used by companies to gain a deeper understanding of their systems and performance on responsible policy engagement on climate change. Investors can use the information provided to engage their portfolio companies on both the risks and opportunities associated with climate lobbying practices.
