Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	GE HealthCare provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. It notes that it “engages with government bodies and policymakers” chiefly through trade associations such as AdvaMed and by attending international forums like the Conference of the Parties to the Basel Convention, indicating that indirect advocacy and participation in multilateral meetings are its primary channels; however, it does not identify which agencies or legislators are approached or describe any direct tactics such as letters, meetings, or consultation responses. The company references involvement in the Health Sector Climate Pledge and broader efforts to “decarbonize the healthcare sector and make healthcare facilities more resilient,” but it does not name any specific bills, regulations, or rulemakings it has tried to influence. Likewise, while the firm restates its own emission-reduction targets (42 % for Scope 1+2 and 25 % for Scope 3 by 2030, and net-zero by 2050), it offers no detail on the policy changes it seeks to advance these goals. Consequently, the disclosure outlines only general areas of engagement without clarifying concrete policies, lobbying mechanisms, or desired legislative outcomes.	1

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	GE HealthCare discloses limited governance of its lobbying activities but does not make any reference to climate-specific alignment. The company indicates that “the GE Board’s Governance & Public Affairs Committee, which is made up entirely of independent directors, oversees and reviews GE’s political activity policies and practices, approves an annual political contributions budget and receives semi-annual reports on GE’s political activity as part of its oversight responsibilities,” and acknowledges that “some communications with government officials may be reportable as lobbying communications, and GE’s U.S. lobbying expenses are included in Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) reports.” While this demonstrates board-level oversight of political engagement, we found no evidence of a policy or process to align direct or indirect lobbying with the company’s climate or sustainability goals, nor any mechanisms to monitor or manage climate-related advocacy or trade-association positions in relation to environmental objectives.	1
