### Governance Ensuring Responsible Public Policy
Molson Coors actively engages in the political environment to inform public policymakers on issues and practices that relate to our company and industry. We also promote the responsible promotion and consumption of our products. The Governance Committee of our Board of Directors oversees corporate and political action, including committee political contributions, and receives annual reports on political giving.
In February 2021, our Board of Directors adopted an enhanced Political Contribution Policy, outlining Molson Coors' policies, procedures and philosophy regarding political contributions and activities. The updated Policy reaffirms broad criteria that drive decisions regarding political contributions by employee-funded entities, corporate contributions where allowed by law, and other lobbying and advocacy efforts. The updated Policy also reiterates that political spending will not be influenced by the political preferences of any individual director, officer or employee.
In performing these activities, Molson Coors conducts its business ethically and in compliance with applicable law. Our business rules state that only designated company employees may engage in public policy work on behalf of Molson Coors, and they must adhere to specific registration, ethics and disclosure requirements in their respective jurisdictions. In addition, our Code of Business Conduct provides guidance on political contributions for employees.
In the US, political contributions support candidates, political parties and committees at both federal and state levels, aligned to a set of giving criteria that is focused on a pro-company agenda. In 2020, our contributions to candidates for state office, state political entities and ballot initiatives totaled approximately $371,875. We follow rigorous internal protocols, legal policies and external controls to ensure all political contributions are made and reported in strict compliance with appropriate federal, state and local laws and regulations. The amounts of contributions made to candidates or parties at state level are generally publicly available on the respective state's website as disclosures on the campaign finance reports required by that jurisdiction.
Molson Coors also operates the Molson Coors Political Action Committee (Molson Coors PAC), which made contributions to candidates totaling approximately $63,500 in 2020, through voluntary contributions from a restricted class of eligible employees. The Molson Coors PAC is registered with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and files monthly reports with the FEC or as otherwise prescribed by federal law. These reports are publicly available at www.fec.gov and provide an itemization of the Molson Coors PAC receipts and disbursements, including contributions to candidates, party committees and any other organizations.
Our total political donation in Canada was approximately CAD$2,000 in 2020. For further details, please see the relevant provincial websites.
