Arm Holdings PLC appears to have a well-established governance framework for climate-related policy engagement, overseen by both the CEO and a formal Sustainability Committee. As the company states, “the governance structures we have in place at Arm ensure that our direct and indirect activities influencing policy are consistent with overall climate change strategy,” with the “CEO providing leadership and driving company-wide support in implementing the sustainability strategy which includes our climate change strategy.” The Arm Sustainability Committee (SC) “meets quarterly and reports to the Executive Committee” and comprises executive members and senior representatives from sustainability, legal, strategy, finance and HR, demonstrating clear oversight of both direct and indirect lobbying channels. Additionally, Arm publicly commits to align its engagement with the goals of the Paris Agreement, answering “Yes” to whether it has a position statement to conduct its engagement activities in line with those goals. However, the company does not disclose a dedicated climate-lobbying audit or any third-party review evaluating alignment of its policy advocacy, nor does it provide specific criteria for assessing the stances of trade associations or require board sign-off on individual lobbying plans, suggesting that while governance processes are well-defined, there remains limited transparency on the detailed monitoring and assurance mechanisms for its climate lobbying activities.
