Limited	Spire Inc provides only limited insight into its climate-policy lobbying activity. The company identifies one concrete piece of legislation—the federal “PIPES Act of 2020,” noted for "requiring additional safety measures and increased leak detection processes to reduce methane emissions"—and refers generally to “legislative bills in Missouri that allow utilities to recover costs for renewable natural gas (RNG) and infrastructure investments,” but it does not name those state bills or describe any other specific measures. It says its leaders “supported” the PIPES Act and that it has “engaged with regulators to finalize rules for integrating RNG into rate structures,” yet it does not reveal what form that support or engagement took, nor does it identify which lawmakers, agencies, or other decision-makers were approached. Likewise, the company states broad aspirations—advancing RNG integration and “achieving carbon neutrality by mid-century”—without detailing the concrete policy changes, amendments, or numeric targets it sought through its lobbying. As a result, while Spire acknowledges involvement in climate-related advocacy, it offers only cursory references to the policies, mechanisms and outcomes involved, leaving most of the substantive particulars undisclosed.
