AdvanSix offers only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. It notes that its government relations team engages with legislative committees and regulatory agencies and that the company lobbies indirectly through the American Chemistry Council (where its CEO serves as vice-chair) and through the Capitol Hill Policy Group LLC, but it does not describe the specific tools it uses—such as meetings, letters or testimony—nor does it identify the individual policymakers or jurisdictions approached. The disclosure indicates involvement in the ACC’s climate committees and funding of work on “federal regulatory matters related to fertilizer production with respect to climate impacts,” yet it never names a concrete bill, rulemaking or regulation it has sought to influence. Similarly, the company speaks only of broad aspirations, such as aligning with the ACC’s Policy Recommendations for a Low Emissions Future, without detailing the precise legislative changes, emission limits or timelines it supports. Because the company stops at these general descriptions and omits tangible policy names, lobbying methods and clearly articulated outcomes, its transparency around climate-policy advocacy remains narrow.

AdvanSix has established a clear oversight structure, with "the Board shifted oversight of sustainability, government relations and public policy matters to the Nominating and Governance Committee," which "oversees public policy and governmental relations matters," and designates the Director of Government Relations as a member of its Sustainability Council. Its government relations and sustainability teams "conduct internal reviews … to review legislation and trade association topics of interest that are meaningful to the topic of climate and our internal strategies," triggering "an action to communicate and engage internally and externally on certain topics when necessary." This indicates that the company actively aligns both direct lobbying and indirect engagement through trade associations, and that specific individuals and committees are responsible for oversight. However, the company does not disclose a formal policy or written guidance explicitly governing how its lobbying is aligned with its climate commitments, and we found no evidence of a dedicated climate-lobbying audit or board sign-off process that would further clarify how these activities are monitored or managed.
