Carter's Inc provides that “The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing compliance with legal and regulatory requirements as such requirements relate to corporate governance, and for overseeing risks related to the Company’s lobbying and other political activities, and environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) efforts,” and that “The Board and its committees receive updates from senior management on relevant risks and management efforts in these areas at its Board and committee meetings at least annually and more frequently, as appropriate.” This confirms that a formal governance body monitors its lobbying activities. However, the company does not disclose any dedicated process for aligning its direct or indirect lobbying with climate or environmental policy objectives, and it explicitly states that it has “no public commitment or position statement to conduct [its] engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement” and does not plan to develop one in the next two years. We found no evidence of a climate-specific lobbying review, policy, or oversight procedure.
