Dollar Tree discloses only minimal information on how it governs climate-related lobbying. It states a general intention to align its advocacy with climate goals, noting "Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement? […] Yes," and refers broadly to "public policy and advocacy strategies with respect to environmental, social, workplace safety, violence prevention and community matters." However, beyond listing a "Political Contribution and Expenditure Policy Statement" and indicating that the Audit Committee oversees "policies and processes designed to manage and mitigate environmental, social, and political risks," the company does not provide detail on any internal mechanisms that monitor or review its direct or indirect lobbying, nor does it name an individual or committee specifically charged with ensuring lobbying alignment. There is no description of procedures for evaluating trade-association positions, no mention of lobbying audits, and no evidence of board sign-off on climate-advocacy plans. This limited disclosure indicates only a high-level commitment without revealing a structured governance process for lobbying alignment.
