Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
None BlackBerry notes that it “participates in various industry associations and standards bodies,” including those “concerned with standards development and government advocacy,” but the company does not disclose any specific processes, oversight structures, or review mechanisms to ensure that these external engagement activities are aligned with its climate commitments or transition plan. There is no indication of who oversees or approves lobbying positions, how the company monitors its direct or indirect advocacy, or any accountability measures for climate-alignment in its government advocacy or association involvement.

Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
Limited BlackBerry provides some insight into its climate-related lobbying, but the disclosure is still fairly high-level. It explains that it "advocated for federal legislation" in the United States aimed at “low-carbon innovation and R&D” for connected and autonomous electric vehicles, and stresses that “the cybersecurity of CAEVs must be adequately considered as any federal framework is developed.” This shows one clear lobbying mechanism – direct advocacy on federal legislation – yet it does not name the specific bill or identify which agencies or lawmakers were approached. The company does indicate the general policy area it lobbied on, namely legislation to advance testing and deployment of autonomous electric vehicles, but it does not cite a bill number or formal policy title. Finally, BlackBerry outlines a single desired outcome, “promoting legislative solutions that encourage the testing and adoption of autonomous electric vehicles” while generally supporting the measure “with minor exceptions,” revealing its overall stance but not detailing multiple concrete policy changes it seeks. Overall, the disclosure demonstrates only limited transparency regarding the policies, mechanisms and outcomes of the company’s climate-related lobbying.
