Direct Lobbying Transparency

---|---|---|
Limited | Campbell Soup provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. It notes that lobbying is channelled through tools such as the “Campbell Political Action Committee,” “In-Person Meetings and Plant Tours,” and other “Advocacy” activities, but it does not reveal which government bodies, jurisdictions or individual policymakers these efforts target, so the mechanisms are described only in general terms. On substance, the company refers to broad themes of engagement around “Environmental Policy” and “Sustainable Agriculture,” and acknowledges that “our membership of/engagement with trade associations could influence policy, law, or regulation that may impact the climate,” yet it does not name any specific bills, regulations, or rulemakings. Finally, the disclosures do not articulate what policy changes the company seeks—there is no indication of whether it supports or opposes any particular measure or what legislative outcomes it is pursuing. As a result, while the company signals that it is active on climate-related issues, the lack of detail on the precise policies, targets, and desired outcomes keeps its transparency at a minimal level. | 1 |
