Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Comment Score
Strong E Ink demonstrates strong governance practices for climate lobbying alignment, particularly through its structured approach to managing direct and indirect lobbying activities. The company has established a "Green Production subcommittee" under its Corporate Sustainability Committee, which actively participates in lobbying activities and industry association memberships. This subcommittee "regularly collects data and progress on climate-related commitments and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets of its public policy engagement and reports them to the Corporate Sustainability Committee," with oversight provided by the Chairman. Furthermore, E Ink has committed to aligning its lobbying efforts with international climate goals, such as the Paris Agreement, and has implemented policies to ensure alignment, including the "E Ink Policy on Safety, Health, Environment, and Energy Management" and the "Risk Management Policy and Procedures." The company also monitors trade association memberships and lobbying activities to ensure alignment with its climate objectives, stating that "if any misalignment is found between the climate-related actions of these associations and E Ink's objectives, E Ink will make public statements distancing the company from the misalignment, engage with the trade association with clear timelines and an escalation process if unsuccessful, and consider leaving the trade association." This proactive approach to managing lobbying alignment, coupled with clear oversight structures and monitoring mechanisms, indicates strong governance practices. 3
