Avangrid Inc

Avangrid discloses a structured approach for keeping its advocacy in line with its climate strategy: it states that "policy positions are regularly reviewed and policy/regulatory activities are reviewed by the Board and senior management," and that these reviews test consistency with "the company's climate and environmental policies objectives," indicating an internal process for direct lobbying alignment. For indirect lobbying, the company explains that it "discloses its trade and industry association memberships and how these organizations align with our climate change policies and targets... Once a relevant and structural policy position misalignment... has been identified, the company will reinforce the engagement of Avangrid's group representatives," showing an ongoing monitoring mechanism and a corrective action pathway for trade‐association misalignment. Oversight responsibility is clearly assigned, as "The Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Governance and Sustainability Committee, reviews and approves Avangrid's environmental, social and governance goals," which includes climate-related public-policy support, while engagement activities are further "governed by... Avangrid's internal policies and protocols." Together these disclosures point to a defined governance framework that covers both direct and indirect lobbying and names the Board and its committee as the supervising body, although the company does not disclose a stand-alone, publicly available climate-lobbying audit or independent assessment, nor does it describe how frequently the trade-association review occurs or what escalation steps exist beyond enhanced engagement, leaving some elements of transparency and enforcement unexplained.
