Comcast discloses a clear internal step for overseeing its membership in trade associations—stating that “participation in these trade associations is subject to approval by the Chief Legal Officer”—and it commits to “engage with the association to address the matter” when it identifies “significant inconsistencies between the trade association’s positions and our positions.” However, these procedures cover general public policy issues such as video distribution, privacy, tax, and cybersecurity rather than climate change, and the company states that it has “no” plan to adopt a public commitment aligned with the Paris Agreement in the next two years. We found no evidence of any climate-specific lobbying review process, board or executive oversight of climate advocacy, or procedures to ensure direct and indirect lobbying align with climate goals.
