Score 3 - Strong
Full assessment

Adobe discloses a structured process to keep both its direct advocacy and its work through external associations consistent with its climate objectives. The company states that "Adobe recognizes the importance of ensuring our public policy engagement activities are aligned to our overall climate change strategy" and confirms a "public commitment ... to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement." Oversight is clearly assigned: "All policy expenditures and external engagement from associations are vetted by the VP of Public Policy, Accessibility, and Ethical Innovation," and "Our Public Policy, Accessibility, and Ethical Innovation Team reviews and analyzes Adobe's political activities regularly and engages with insight from our senior management team." In addition, "Adobe's Sustainability Strategist ... meets quarterly with the Sustainability Leadership Council" - a cross-functional body that includes legal and government-affairs leaders - providing a recurring forum to monitor alignment. These disclosures indicate a defined governance framework that covers both direct lobbying (e.g., advocating for all-electric building codes) and indirect engagement ("external engagement from associations") with explicit senior-level sign-off, signalling strong governance. However, the company does not disclose any formal, publicly available climate-lobbying alignment review of trade associations or evidence of corrective action where misalignment is found, leaving the transparency and robustness of its monitoring outcomes unclear.
