Lobbying Governance

CCL Industries has established a structured process to ensure that its policy engagement aligns with its climate change strategy, exemplifying strong governance of both direct and indirect lobbying activities. The company “monitors our engagement through our finance department to ensure that all direct and indirect activities that influence policy are consistent with our overall climate change strategy,” and its finance system “allows all transactions to be coded and membership fees have their own code,” enabling controllers at each facility to oversee these transactions and prevent engagement with organizations that conflict with corporate objectives. Senior management, including the “Senior Vice President of Finance-IT-Human Resources and the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer,” also “have visibility to this information and review data in aggregate regarding issues of corporate spending and alignment with our corporate objectives, including climate-change strategy,” demonstrating clear accountability and oversight. However, the company “does not plan to have [a public commitment or position statement to align with the goals of the Paris Agreement] in the next two years,” indicating that while internal monitoring and leadership review are robust, there is no public pledge to align its external engagement with Paris Agreement goals.
