Lobbying Governance
| Overall Assessment | Analysis | Score |

Stryker Corp has established a governance framework that centralizes environmental oversight and aligns policy engagement with its climate change strategy; however, the company does not disclose detailed review procedures or a public commitment under the Paris Agreement. Specifically, Stryker “has centralized global environment, health, safety and sustainability at the corporate level to ensure that direct and indirect activities that influence policy are consistent with Stryker's overall climate change strategy,” and “we have established a Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability Committee with cross-functional business leadership that provides governance for climate related goals.” These disclosures indicate that both direct and indirect lobbying influences are brought under a formal oversight body, yet the company does not describe how these activities are monitored or managed over time—such as through periodic audits, board sign-off, or an alignment review—and “No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years” indicates it will not adopt a public Paris Agreement position in the near term. We found no evidence of a named individual responsible for overseeing lobbying alignment or of a dedicated climate-lobbying audit or report.
