Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Kinetik Holdings discloses that it "prioritize[s] transparency and ethical conduct in our political activities, aligning our efforts with our broader sustainability objectives" and that it "follows guidelines for corporate memberships" so that any industry-association engagement "aligns with the strategic goals and vision of the Company as a whole," indicating some intention to keep lobbying activities consistent with company policy. The company also notes that its Stakeholder Engagement Policy "prohibits the establishment of corporate Political Action Committees (PACs)" and that its "Code of Business Conduct and Employee Handbook encompass further policies that specifically address interactions with public officials and industry activities," which together constitute a stated set of rules and an implied review step. Oversight is referenced only generically: "Our Board of Directors... provides governance and oversight to our ESG program" and the President & CEO is responsible for "monitoring the implementation of the ESG program," but there is no separate body or named individual charged with reviewing lobbying alignment, nor any description of monitoring, auditing, or corrective action for either direct or trade-association lobbying. The disclosures therefore demonstrate limited governance arrangements for political engagement but do not describe a formal process, a climate-specific alignment review, or detailed oversight mechanisms; the company does not disclose any climate-lobbying audit, trade-association alignment evaluation, or board-level sign-off specific to lobbying activities.

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Kinetik Holdings Inc. provides only a limited window into its climate-related lobbying. The company indicates it addresses topics such as methane-emissions regulation and other climate measures, but it never names a specific statute, rule-making docket, or legislative proposal it has attempted to influence, leaving the reader uncertain about which policies are in scope. Its description of methods is similarly high-level: it states that "We commonly engage with local, state, and federal political leaders, policymakers, and regulators via our industry associations" and notes that some employees serve on technical committees, yet it does not clarify whether this engagement takes the form of letters, testimony, formal consultations, or in-person meetings, nor does it identify the agencies or lawmakers approached. Finally, while the company says it seeks "effective policy solutions," wants to reduce methane emissions and reach net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050, and "communicate what we see as the strong points of new regulation and any downsides," it does not articulate concrete legislative changes, numeric targets, or other specific outcomes it is advocating. Together, these omissions mean the disclosure falls short of providing a clear picture of its climate-policy lobbying activity.	1
