Guess? Inc’s disclosures indicate a focus on aligning its indirect lobbying efforts with its climate targets, as seen where it “became a signatory of the UNFCCC Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action” and “actively participated in working groups to contribute to and explore the implementation of the charter’s principles, with the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.” The company also confirms it has a “public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.” These statements underline Guess? Inc’s intent to align engagement with the Paris Agreement and its Science Based Targets, yet the disclosures do not detail any internal process for overseeing or reviewing these activities: the company “engaged indirectly with, and/or provided financial or in-kind support to, Non-Governmental Organizations or charitable organizations whose activities could influence policy, law, or regulations,” but does not specify who is responsible for ensuring alignment, how lobbying positions are monitored, or whether there is periodic sign-off, audit, or escalation. We found no evidence of a named individual or formal body tasked with oversight, nor of a documented procedure to manage or adjust engagements when misalignment is detected.
