Procter & Gamble (P&G) has demonstrated a comprehensive level of transparency in disclosing its climate lobbying activities. The company has clearly identified specific climate policies it has engaged with, including the Carbon Dividends Program, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act with a focus on electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and trucking GHG emissions related to gross vehicle weight limits. These disclosures include detailed information about the policy categories, such as carbon pricing and climate change mitigation, and their geographic scope within the United States. P&G has also provided clarity on its lobbying mechanisms, describing direct activities such as meetings with US Congressional staff coordinated through the Climate Leadership Council, advocacy for increased electric vehicle charging infrastructure along the US Federal Highway System, and efforts to influence national policymakers on gross vehicle weight limits. The company has been equally transparent about the specific outcomes it seeks, such as significant reductions in GHG emissions through a national carbon pricing policy, increased infrastructure for electric vehicles to facilitate fleet transitions, and a national increase in GVW weight limits to 91,000 lbs. These disclosures are supported by clear rationales, including alignment with the Paris Agreement and the benefits of transparency and certainty for businesses. This level of detail and clarity illustrates P&G's comprehensive approach to disclosing its climate lobbying efforts and objectives.

Procter & Gamble (P&G) demonstrates a strong governance process for climate lobbying alignment. The company explicitly states that "all policy advocacy is coordinated through our Global Government Relations organization," ensuring "consistency and transparency in all policy-related activities across business divisions and geographies." This organization is an active member of the "cross-functional P&G Corporate Climate Council," which plays a key role in the company's climate governance process. The council is responsible for "knowing the details of our climate policies and positions, and consistently representing them with all external stakeholders they interact with, including policy makers and trade associations." Furthermore, P&G emphasizes alignment with its climate goals, stating that "consistent with our ambition to achieve net zero GHG emissions, we seek to align our policy positions with a 1.5° Scenario." The company also addresses indirect lobbying through trade associations, noting that "the trade associations of which we are members are aware of our policy positions" and that "any P&G position on a matter of public policy is the prevailing company position, irrespective of any trade association position." If discrepancies arise, P&G commits to "engage the association in dialogue to discuss relevant discrepancies and encourage changes which would better align with our views." While the evidence does not mention a published lobbying audit or detailed study, it provides clear details on the governance structure, monitoring processes, and responsible parties involved in climate lobbying alignment, indicating robust governance.
