NVIDIA's support of policy initiatives aligns with the overall climate change plan determined by the CSR Committee and company leaders. The CSR Committee is responsible for ensuring all groups involved in the decision-making process are familiar with NVIDIA's climate change strategy, but the decision would be made by executive staff as to whether or not NVIDIA should support the proposed initiative. All lobbying activities require the prior approval of NVIDIA Government Relations and Legal. Where required by law, we file lobbying disclosure reports. In FY21, we did not perform lobbying activities or expend resources that required registration under the Lobbying Disclosure Act.
