Fortune Brands Innovations provides only limited insight into how it governs climate-related lobbying. In response to a question on ensuring that “external engagement activities are consistent with your climate commitments,” the company states that “the NESG Committee and full Board are updated throughout the year on environmental and social programs, progress, risks and strategies,” indicating that these bodies receive information on engagement activities. This reference to Board-level oversight suggests some governance structure, but the disclosure stops short of explaining any concrete mechanisms for monitoring, reviewing, or aligning direct or indirect lobbying positions; the company simply notes that “Dialogue with our stakeholders helps Fortune Brands Innovations make sure we are reporting meaningful information now and staying abreast of what topics may become more important in the future.” There is no reference to a dedicated lobbying policy, no description of processes for assessing trade-association alignment, and the company explicitly answers “No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years” when asked about a public commitment to conduct engagement in line with the Paris Agreement. Overall, the evidence shows that oversight bodies are informed, but the company does not disclose any detailed procedures, alignment reviews, or corrective actions related to climate lobbying.
