Lobbying Governance
| Overall Assessment | Analysis | Score |

| Moderate |
Conagra Brands establishes formal oversight of its lobbying and political contributions through its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which “oversees the modest political activities of the company, including political contributions and lobbying expenditures” and publishes a report on these activities. It also describes a mechanism to align policy advocacy with its climate change objectives by ensuring that “representatives from our sustainability team participate in each of these organizations and align their involvement with our overall sustainability strategy,” thereby creating consistency in both direct and indirect policy engagement. Nevertheless, the company does not disclose how it monitors or manages those lobbying activities against its climate targets, lacks details on any formal sign-off or review process, and provides no criteria for assessing whether the positions of trade associations are compatible with its sustainability goals.
