ONE Gas Inc discloses its “Proactive Policy Engagement” to provide “accurate, reliable and timely information” to decision makers on issues such as “emissions reduction; renewable natural gas; energy choice; pipeline safety and other operational and environmental issues,” reflecting a commitment to transparency and collaboration. However, the company does not disclose any internal oversight mechanisms or governance structures for its lobbying activities, such as a formal review process, board or committee sign-off, or assignment of a specific individual to oversee its policy engagement, and we found no evidence of how it monitors or ensures alignment of its advocacy with its climate-related objectives.

ONE Gas acknowledges that it lobbies on climate-related matters, but its disclosure remains high-level. The company states that it “engage[s] elected officials, regulators, community leaders and other decision makers” on issues such as “emissions reduction; renewable natural gas; energy choice; pipeline safety and other operational and environmental issues,” yet it does not identify any concrete bills, regulations, or jurisdictions involved. While it identifies the broad audience of its outreach, it offers no detail on the mechanisms employed—such as meetings, letters, or consultation submissions—so the nature and frequency of its activities are unclear. The only outcome articulated is a general aspiration for “transparency, collaboration and mutually beneficial outcomes for all stakeholders,” without specifying the legislative changes, targets, or amendments it seeks. Consequently, the company provides only limited transparency around the specific policies, lobbying methods, and objectives of its climate-related engagement.
