Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	CH Robinson provides a moderate level of transparency around its climate-policy lobbying. It identifies concrete regulations it engages on, including the California Air Resources Board rule governing “the due diligence required by freight brokers to ensure they hire CARB-compliant motor carriers” and the federal “Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA)” funding programme, as well as participation in the EPA SmartWay initiative. The company explains how it lobbies, noting that it has “provided input or expertise to various state and federal regulatory agencies,” and that it actively advocates for continued DERA appropriations, explicitly naming CARB and the EPA as its principal targets. It also states the outcomes it seeks: ensuring broker compliance with CARB rules and securing “continued funding of the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) funds to help motor carriers adopt better technology.” While the disclosure does not extend to a broader range of policies or detail multiple lobbying channels, the company still supplies clear examples of the policies, mechanisms and objectives that guide its climate-related advocacy.	2

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
None	CH Robinson provides no evidence of any internal governance process to align its lobbying or policy engagement with its climate commitments. While it states that “C.H. Robinson's enterprise-wide goal is science-aligned, and supports the scale of reductions required to keep global temperature increase below 2°C above pre-industrial,” we found no description of who oversees or reviews external engagement activities, no monitoring or management procedures, and no mechanism for aligning direct or indirect lobbying with its climate-transition plan.	0
