UGI Corp states that it has "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement" and, when asked to "Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy," it reiterates its intention to "align with international efforts to reduce carbon emissions as outlined in the Paris Climate Accord" and to follow its "Roadmap to 2030." This indicates that the company has at least made a formal commitment to keep its external engagement consistent with the Paris goals, which is a basic element of lobbying-alignment governance. However, the disclosure does not specify how that commitment is operationalised: there is no description of oversight structures, no identification of an individual or board committee responsible for reviewing lobbying positions, no mention of monitoring or auditing direct or trade-association lobbying, and no evidence that the company evaluates or acts on misalignments. Therefore the evidence points to only an initial commitment without a detailed governance framework for ensuring or enforcing lobbying alignment.
