Lobbying Governance
| Overall Assessment | Analysis | Score |

| Moderate |
Cencora Inc. demonstrates a moderate level of governance in its lobbying activities, with some processes in place to ensure alignment with broader corporate strategies, including climate-related goals. The company discloses that its Governance, Sustainability, and Corporate Responsibility Committee oversees political engagement, including climate change governance, stating that "the Board’s Governance, Sustainability, and Corporate Responsibility Committee has been delegated primary risk oversight for corporate responsibility, including climate change, governance structure and processes, and political engagement." Additionally, Cencora outlines processes for assessing and monitoring climate-related activities as part of its corporate responsibility and sustainability strategy, noting that it "works closely with and educates AB leaders, who have political engagement and policy responsibilities, about our corporate responsibility and sustainability strategy." However, while these disclosures indicate some alignment mechanisms, there is limited detail on how lobbying activities—both direct and indirect—are systematically monitored or managed to ensure alignment with climate goals. The company does not disclose a comprehensive review process or specific criteria for assessing its participation in trade associations or external lobbying efforts. Furthermore, while the Governance, Sustainability, and Corporate Responsibility Committee oversees political contributions and lobbying activities, there is no explicit mention of a recurring audit or detailed public reporting on climate lobbying alignment. This indicates that while governance structures exist, they lack the depth and specificity required for stronger alignment with climate-related lobbying objectives.
