Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Moderate	Berry Global Group Inc has established a basic governance process for its limited lobbying activities, primarily involving the sustainability department and CEO oversight. The company explains that "our engagements primarily consist of signing onto support letters, and these interactions are specifically targeted toward increasing the availability of recycling or renewable energy and are driven by the sustainability department, which easily ensures alignment." In addition, "any decisions to get involved are approved by the CEO, who ensures alignment with our global strategies, including on climate change." While this indicates a defined review step and a named individual overseeing policy engagement, the company "generally does not get involved with policy, especially at regional levels," and provides no information on how it manages indirect lobbying through trade associations or on any detailed monitoring procedures beyond these ad hoc approvals. We found no evidence of a dedicated climate-lobbying policy, a formal committee or published audit of lobbying activities, or a process for ongoing oversight of indirect lobbying channels.
