Archer-Daniels-Midland Co

Archer-Daniels-Midland provides limited insight into how it governs climate-related lobbying. It notes that "the governance of this policy has been reviewed by the company´s Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility Committee of the ADM Board of Directors," and confirms that it maintains "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement." The company also explains that "our sustainability efforts are overseen by our Board of Directors, in particular a dedicated Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility Committee, and led by our Chief Sustainability Officer." These statements show high-level Board involvement and a Paris-aligned commitment covering its external engagement. Nevertheless, the disclosures do not describe any concrete procedures for monitoring or managing lobbying activities, give no examples of reviewing trade-association positions, and do not assign specific accountability for ensuring that direct or indirect lobbying is aligned with climate goals. Consequently, the publicly available information points to only a basic governance commitment rather than a defined lobbying-governance framework.
