Keysight discloses only limited information that directly addresses how it governs climate-related lobbying or policy engagement. The company states that it has "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement" and confirms "Yes" to this question, and further notes it is "working with the Science Based Targets initiative… [to] ensure our most material scope 3 categories are covered by the company's external engagement activities." These statements show an intention to align external engagement with its climate commitments, indicating some acknowledgement that its advocacy should be Paris-aligned. However, the wider CSR governance structure it describes—“Through a well-defined governance structure with clear scope and management system, Keysight is able to drive continuous improvement and accountability”—focuses on general CSR oversight and does not spell out any mechanisms, reviews, or decision-makers specifically charged with monitoring lobbying or trade-association positions. We found no evidence of a process that evaluates the alignment of direct lobbying or the positions of industry associations with the company’s climate strategy, no mention of regular audits or corrective actions, and no identification of a board committee or named executive responsible for lobbying alignment. Consequently, while the public commitment suggests an intention to align engagement with climate goals, the company does not disclose the governance detail necessary to demonstrate that this commitment is operationalised or monitored in practice.
