Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Essex Property Trust’s disclosures indicate only a limited governance framework for lobbying, noting that “All direct or indirect contributions toward political campaigns require approval from our Compliance Manager” and that “Our lobbying activities and disclosures comply with all federal regulations and are focused on advocacy for rental property owners.” While the requirement for Compliance Manager approval provides a sign-off mechanism and a named individual overseeing political contributions, the company does not disclose any policy or process to align its lobbying with climate-related objectives or any monitoring or oversight structures specific to climate lobbying.
