Dolby Laboratories does not have a governance process dedicated to aligning its external engagement or lobbying activities with its climate commitments. As the company acknowledges, “we do not currently have processes in place to ensure that external engagement activities are consistent with our overall climate strategy,” and when asked about a “public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” Dolby responded “No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years.” We found no evidence of any policy, oversight structure, monitoring or review mechanism, or named individual or formal body responsible for governing its lobbying or policy engagement, and the company does not disclose any plans for establishing these governance elements in the near term.

Dolby Laboratories provides only limited transparency around its climate-related lobbying. The company acknowledges that it engages on policy matters indirectly through trade associations and coalitions, citing memberships such as the “U.S. Chamber of Commerce” and the “Business Council on Climate Change,” and explaining that “Dolby’s aim in being a member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is to have access to the latest information on domestic and global issues that impact our business.” This disclosure identifies the mechanism—participation in external organisations—but it stops short of naming any specific government bodies or policymakers it seeks to influence. Likewise, while Dolby notes that it “utilizes its membership in BC3 to accelerate and build upon our environmental commitments,” it does not identify any particular climate laws, regulations, or bills it has addressed; its references remain at the level of broad environmental or climate policy engagement. Finally, the company states that “Dolby’s sustainability goals and commitments are in alignment with the Paris Agreement,” signalling general support for climate action but offering no concrete legislative or regulatory outcomes it is seeking. Overall, Dolby’s disclosure signals some indirect involvement in climate policy debates but lacks detail on the exact policies, targets, and outcomes involved.
