Lobbying Governance

Quanta Services Inc has established a formal governance process for its political activities through its Governance and Nominating Committee, which “periodically reviews political contributions and engagement” and reports its findings to the Board. The Chief Compliance Officer, supported by the Senior Director of Government Affairs, “is responsible for answering questions about and administering the policy,” and the Government Affairs and Legal Compliance & Ethics departments ensure that “our political activities are aligned with our strategic direction and initiatives, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors and executive leadership.” By publishing an annual Political Engagement Report “detailing our contributions and listing our trade association memberships,” the company provides transparency into both direct advocacy and indirect channels. However, the company does not disclose any process for assessing whether its trade association memberships align with its climate policy, and there is no evidence of active review or corrective action in cases of misalignment. We found no evidence of a public commitment to align engagement activities with the goals of the Paris Agreement, and the company confirms it “does not plan to have one in the next two years,” indicating an absence of dedicated climate lobbying safeguards.
