Direct Lobbying Transparency

| Moderate | Zoetis provides a moderate level of transparency on its climate-related lobbying. It clearly identifies three specific policies it has engaged on—“California Voluntary Carbon Market Disclosures Act, Assembly Bill 1305,” the “EU: Green Deal,” and the “US: Farm Bill”—demonstrating openness about the legislative files it seeks to influence. The company also indicates that it “engage[s] with policy makers to advocate for Zoetis’ sustainability positions and commercial interests within the context of the legislation/regulation,” revealing that direct engagement is its primary mechanism, but it stops short of describing how that engagement takes place or naming the governmental bodies or individual officials involved. In terms of objectives, Zoetis states broad intentions such as “support with no exceptions” for the Farm Bill and confirms that its positions are “aligned” with the Paris Agreement, yet it does not spell out any concrete amendments, targets, or other measurable outcomes it is pursuing through these lobbying efforts. As a result, while the company is explicit about which policies it addresses, it offers only limited detail on its methods and the specific policy changes it seeks. | 2 |
