Lobbying Governance

Papa John's International Inc. does not disclose any specific governance processes for lobbying activities, and no mention is made of alignment of lobbying—direct or indirect—with company or climate policy objectives. Its disclosures focus on broader corporate governance and responsibility, noting that “Our corporate governance guidelines, adopted by our Board of Directors (the Board), serve as a framework for the governance of the company,” and that the Board’s Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee oversees corporate responsibility strategy and performance. However, we found no evidence of policies to ensure alignment of lobbying activities, no named individual or committee tasked with lobbying oversight, and no procedures for reviewing or monitoring lobbying. The only political engagement disclosure states that “Papa Johns does not have a political action committee (PAC) and does not currently use Company funds for direct political contributions,” and that “Any political contributions have an approval process, which is outlined in our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct,” which pertains to contributions rather than lobbying processes. This indicates that the company does not disclose a governance framework for regulating or aligning lobbying activities.
