Hubbell Inc discloses that "The Hubbell Board of Directors, the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and the Environmental, Social, and Governance Steering Committee" oversee ESG matters and "function to ensure that any potential future engagement activities align with our overall climate change strategy," indicating that at least some internal bodies review alignment of policy engagement with climate goals. This reference to board-level and committee oversight demonstrates a governance step beyond mere compliance, suggesting a limited but explicit process for sign-off on engagement activities. However, the company does not provide further information on how this oversight is operationalised—there are no published procedures, monitoring mechanisms, or assessments covering direct lobbying or participation in trade associations, and it confirms "No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years" regarding a public commitment to align engagement with the Paris Agreement. Consequently, while board structures are named, Hubbell does not disclose how often reviews occur, what criteria are used, or whether misaligned lobbying would be corrected, leaving significant gaps in transparency and detail about its lobbying governance.
