Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Fox Corp exhibits a structured governance framework for its political lobbying, with formal oversight by its Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which “reviews and oversees compliance with the Company’s Political Activities Policy and reviews and oversees its Political Activities Report.” The company also requires that “FOX employees, officers and board members must notify the FOX Government Relations office,” which in turn secures approval from the Chief Legal and Policy Officer before any lobbying engagement at the federal, state or local level, and Fox Government Relations “is responsible for disclosing the lobbying activity of employees, officers and board members” to relevant authorities. The company further enhances transparency by publishing an annual Political Activities Report that “now also includes the membership dues the Company pays to trade associations in addition to the names of the associations” and updates this report each year. However, we found no evidence of any processes, policies, or named individuals tasked specifically with aligning climate-related lobbying efforts or assessing the consistency of its advocacy with its climate objectives.
