Lobbying Governance

Wal-Mart de México discloses only high-level commitments and general statements about aligning its external engagement with its sustainability strategy rather than a detailed governance framework for lobbying. The company states that "We engage indirectly through CESPEDES… Our position… corresponds to our regional and global commitments" and adds that its "participation is aligned with the sustainability strategy," indicating an intention to keep policy engagement consistent with climate objectives, and it also confirms that "Yes" it has "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement." However, the evidence provides no description of specific oversight structures, such as a board committee or named executive responsible for reviewing lobbying alignment, nor any monitoring mechanisms, audits, or corrective actions for trade-association misalignment; it merely notes interactions with "environmental associations, NGOs, and environmental working groups" without explaining how these are governed. Because the disclosure is limited to broad commitments without detailing processes, responsibilities, or review cycles, this indicates only basic governance of climate-related engagement activities.
