ABB Ltd
- Paris Agreement alignment
- Direct lobbying governance
- Regular monitoring cycle
ABB Ltd has established a structured process to ensure that its engagement activities align with its climate change strategy; it relies on a "global public affairs network [that] coordinates all policy-related activities and meets monthly" and "vets proposed policy positions through all affected internal sectoral initiatives, program leads and regional management to ensure all positions are consistent with stated policies, strategies and targets - including our overall climate change strategy and targets." The company explicitly states its commitment to conduct engagement "in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement," and reports engaging with regulators to "advocate the deployment of low-carbon technology and energy-efficient solutions." However, ABB does not disclose a specific individual or formal body charged with overseeing lobbying alignment, nor does it describe how it governs its indirect lobbying through trade or industry associations or any detailed audit or review of its climate-related lobbying activities.
