Lobbying Governance

The disclosure indicates that Dick’s Sporting Goods has set up at least a basic internal process to keep its policy engagement aligned with its climate objectives: it states that “the company’s engagement activities are handled by the Government Affairs and Sustainability Teams, which both report to the CSO” and that “the CSO is responsible for oversight of these teams and their engagement strategies.” The company also affirms that its climate strategy is “aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement” and that it “actively seek[s] to partner with other organizations that are also aligned or share similar goals,” demonstrating an intent to steer both direct advocacy and external partnerships toward the same climate goals. These elements reveal a named senior executive with explicit oversight and a stated mechanism for alignment, which indicates a moderate level of lobbying-governance transparency. However, the company does not disclose how often or by what criteria it reviews its lobbying positions, provides no information on board-level involvement, and offers no detail on whether or how it assesses or corrects the climate-policy positions of specific trade associations, so the overall governance framework remains limited in depth and scope.
