Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Lululemon discloses only limited information about its climate-policy advocacy. It indicates involvement with collective platforms such as the UN Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action, the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, the Clean Energy Demand Initiative and the Asia Clean Energy Coalition, noting for example that “We participate in their policy and decarbonization working groups, which support the development of strategies and roadmaps to help signatories make progress against Charter commitments.” This reveals an indirect lobbying mechanism but the company does not describe any direct actions—such as meetings, consultation submissions or letters—nor does it identify specific government bodies or legislators it seeks to influence. On substance, the only concrete policy reference is the public declaration urging the United States to re-enter the Paris Agreement; other statements refer only broadly to “net-zero GHG emissions no later than 2050” or accelerating the clean-energy transition, without naming particular bills, regulations or jurisdictions. Correspondingly, the outcomes the company says it seeks are aspirational—decarbonising fashion supply chains, eliminating coal from manufacturing, and expanding renewable electricity—rather than precise legislative or regulatory changes. Overall, the disclosure offers a general picture of intention but lacks the detailed policy names, lobbying methods and measurable objectives needed for stronger transparency.	1

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	Lululemon Athletica maintains a structured approach to overseeing its climate-related industry engagement, noting that “our industry collaborations and climate action commitments are strategically chosen based on alignment with our vision, climate strategy, and targets.” It further explains that it “reviews our engagement with industry collaborations and other initiatives on a regular basis to ensure continued values alignment and check that our continued participation is helping us achieve our targets, leverage opportunities, and/or manage our risks,” and that “before becoming signatories to or members of industry organizations and collaborations, the executive team, and occasionally the board, is engaged to determine alignment with our corporate strategy.” However, all governance disclosures relate to indirect lobbying via climate-specific associations, and we found no evidence of any process for overseeing direct lobbying activities or of a dedicated audit or public report evaluating its climate lobbying alignment.	2
