Gannett Co Inc does not disclose any governance process for ensuring its external engagement activities align with its climate commitments; in response to inquiries about how it ensures such alignment the company states "No internal policies," indicating an absence of any mechanisms, oversight structures, or accountability measures. We found no evidence of a policy to align direct lobbying or indirect engagement through industry associations with climate goals, no process to monitor or manage such activities, and no disclosure of any individual or formal body responsible for oversight. This lack of disclosure on governance procedures suggests the company has not established any internal framework for climate-related lobbying or external engagement.

Gannett provides only limited insight into any climate-policy lobbying. Its ESG materials refer broadly to a wish to “influence policy change at the state and national levels” and to coverage of “climate change and forests,” but they do not name any specific bills, regulations or rulemakings the company has addressed. The only mechanism described is the indirect use of its journalism: the National Climate Change Reporting Team is said to focus on “educating readers” and “holding elected officials accountable for decisions that impact the environment,” yet no details are offered on direct contact with lawmakers, participation in consultations, or work through trade associations, nor are the governmental bodies or individual officials that might be targeted identified. Likewise, the company speaks in general terms about enhancing reporting and encouraging climate action, but it does not spell out the concrete legislative or regulatory outcomes it seeks. As a result, the disclosures convey intent rather than a transparent account of actual lobbying activities.
