Lobbying Governance

AI Extracted Evidence Snippet Source

The nominating and corporate governance committee has oversight of our Government Relations function. Fiserv lobbies ethically, constructively and in a bipartisan manner through direct and indirect communication with public officials and complies with all registration and reporting requirements related to lobbying activities. We participate in direct advocacy in the U.S. with state legislatures, Congress and various federal regulatory agencies. We also conduct lobbying activities in the EU and the U.K. [...] Additionally, Fiserv pays membership dues to business and industry trade associations which may use a portion of those funds for lobbying activities. Fiserv has established a nonpartisan federal political action committee which supports federal candidates whose views and values align with our business objectives. In some cases, we make corporate contributions to state-level candidates where state law allows.

###### Lobbying and Political Expenditures

Our government relations team engages on a variety of issues that could impact our company or our stakeholders. We believe public policy advocacy can help to protect and advance our interests. Additionally, we may exercise our fundamental right to participate in the political process through political contributions, where doing so is legal and appropriate.

The government relations team oversees our public policy strategy, and political expenditures are approved in accordance with our political contributions policy. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the board of directors is responsible for overseeing our government relations activities, and annually reviews these activities as well as the Fiserv Political Contributions and Expenditures policy and Lobbying policy. We have a federal political action committee, the Fiserv PAC, which makes donations to federal candidates on a bipartisan basis and is overseen by a PAC-specific board of directors.

Our political contributions policy and Code include information about how associates can engage in the political process, and we annually publish a political contributions report.
