Becton Dickinson & Co. discloses no governance structures specific to climate lobbying; while BD “engages in public policy discussions with a variety of stakeholders, including elected and appointed policy makers,” it makes clear it “do not engage with policy makers specifically on climate change as it is not fundamentally core to our public policy work,” and it has “No” commitment or position statement to align its engagements with the goals of the Paris Agreement, nor plans to adopt one. We found no evidence of any monitoring or alignment process, no named oversight body or individual, and no mechanism for ensuring its advocacy activities are consistent with climate objectives.

Becton Dickinson offers only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. The company refers to broad participation in public-policy activities through “public policy consultants, trade associations, and issue-based coalitions” and notes interactions with government officials, but it does not name any specific decision-making bodies or explain how those channels are used to influence climate legislation. Beyond signing initiatives such as the White House-HHS Health Sector Climate Pledge and the U.N. Race to Zero, the disclosures do not identify any particular climate policy, bill, or regulation the company has engaged on. Likewise, while BD reiterates internal targets—such as having “increased our Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets for 2030” and a goal of net-zero emissions by 2050—it does not link its advocacy work to concrete legislative outcomes it hopes to secure or oppose. As a result, readers can see that BD undertakes some general advocacy through external groups, but there is no visibility into which climate policies are being addressed, what positions the company is taking, or what results it is seeking from policymakers.
