Direct Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Comment Score
None Zimmer Biomet provides considerable insight into its lobbying activities for healthcare-related legislation, mentioning efforts around topics such as "Medical Device User Fee Amendments (MDUFA)" and outlining its "Government Affairs office in Washington, D.C." that works with the U.S. Congress and other governmental bodies. However, we found no evidence that the company discloses any engagement with climate-related policies or legislation. Consequently, there is no indication that Zimmer Biomet seeks specific climate outcomes or targets through its advocacy, leaving its stance on climate-related policy issues and objectives unaddressed. 0
Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Comment Score
None Zimmer Biomet does not disclose any governance processes or structures specifically related to climate lobbying alignment. While the company mentions its commitment to climate goals, such as reducing GHG emissions and aligning with a 1.5°C scenario, these statements pertain to general climate strategy rather than lobbying governance. The evidence references Zimmer Biomet's engagement in public policy debates and communication with government officials, as well as its commitment to "participating constructively and responsibly in the public policy process" and efforts to "inform the debate on these proposals in the United States and in other countries." However, it does not describe any mechanisms, oversight structures, or accountability measures to ensure alignment of lobbying activities with climate commitments. Furthermore, there is no mention of monitoring processes, responsible parties, or alignment enforcement related to climate lobbying. Statements about integrating environmental health and safety principles into business decisions and promoting sustainable practices are unrelated to lobbying governance. Additionally, while the company makes a public commitment to conduct engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement, it does not disclose any governance details or processes related to climate lobbying, such as oversight structures, monitoring mechanisms, or accountability measures. This indicates an absence of climate lobbying governance. 0
