Hertz provides only a brief description of how it keeps its public‐policy activity connected to its sustainability aims, stating that "Hertz’s government affairs team is fully integrated with the business operations, legal, financial, corporate responsibility, public affairs, communications and strategy leaders within the company which further exemplifies how our public policy efforts are supporting the overall mission and direction of the company on sustainability." This language indicates that some internal coordination exists to check that engagement "is consistent with your overall climate change strategy" and with the company’s "climate commitments and/or climate transition plan," suggesting a basic process for alignment. However, Hertz “does not have a public commitment or position statement to conduct [its] engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” and the disclosure offers no detail on how alignment is evaluated, how often it is reviewed, whether any formal criteria or escalation steps are used, or whether trade-association lobbying is monitored. No specific individual, board committee, or senior executive is identified as responsible for overseeing lobbying alignment. Overall, the company discloses a high-level commitment to integrate government affairs with sustainability teams but does not describe a structured governance framework, formal oversight, or mechanisms for managing indirect lobbying, indicating only limited transparency on lobbying governance.
