Copa Holdings provides only limited insight into how it governs climate-related policy engagement. In response to a CDP question about ensuring that “engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy,” the company states that “Copa is aware that achieving its goals requires commitment and alignment with governments, regulators and industry suppliers” and that progress is “reviewed in its sustainability committee, which is led by its CEO and includes the participation of other high-level executives.” This indicates that a senior-level body reviews some aspects of external engagement, but the disclosure stops short of describing any concrete mechanisms—such as formal reviews of lobbying positions, criteria for assessing trade-association alignment, or procedures for escalating misalignment—and the company also admits “No, and we do not plan to have” a public commitment to align lobbying with the Paris Agreement. We found no evidence of a published lobbying policy, no mention of monitoring indirect lobbying, and no reference to corrective actions or public reporting on advocacy alignment, suggesting that the governance framework for lobbying is largely undeveloped beyond high-level oversight of the broader sustainability strategy.
