Lobbying Governance
| Overall Assessment | Analysis | Score |

| Moderate |
HubSpot Inc demonstrates a moderate level of governance in its lobbying activities, particularly in relation to climate commitments. The company states that "decisions related to engagement are run by our dedicated ESG Team to ensure a consistent approach," indicating a process for aligning external engagement with climate goals. Oversight is provided by the Director of ESG, who leads a cross-functional team and collaborates with the Nominating and ESG Committee of the Board of Directors, which "formally reviews our company-wide efforts in ESG at least twice a year." Additionally, the Nominating and ESG Committee has specific responsibilities to "review and provide oversight relating to the Company’s environmental practices, including initiatives related to sustainability and climate change impacts." However, while these disclosures highlight oversight and alignment mechanisms, there is no evidence of a detailed process for monitoring or managing lobbying activities specifically, nor is there mention of actions taken to align indirect lobbying through trade associations or industry bodies. Furthermore, the company does not disclose a comprehensive lobbying audit or review process, nor does it provide details on how alignment with climate-related lobbying is enforced beyond general ESG oversight. This indicates a governance framework that addresses climate-related risks and opportunities but lacks specificity in governing lobbying activities directly or indirectly.
