Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Moderate	NetApp Inc has a structured, annual process to align its indirect lobbying through trade associations with its developing climate commitments but does not disclose oversight of direct lobbying or a named governance owner. The company explains that “on an annual basis we review our memberships before renewal” and that it “make[s] sure that the organizations with which we work and provide funds have positions/statements related to climate change efforts and plans,” reflecting a concrete mechanism for reviewing external engagement. However, NetApp “is still working on finalizing a long-term climate change strategy,” and we found no evidence of a specific individual or formal body overseeing lobbying alignment, nor any described process for monitoring or managing its own direct lobbying activities.
