Cabot Corp

Cabot Corp appears to have a well-defined framework for governing its climate-related lobbying, centralizing oversight of "direct and indirect activities that influence policy on climate change" under its Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO)/Senior Vice President of SH&E and the Management Executive Committee, who "work to ensure consistency across business divisions and geographies, including ensuring that our external engagement activities are consistent with our climate commitments." The company also established "Director of Sustainability and Director Environment positions at the corporate level" to provide "technical expertise and advice on regulatory engagement and advocacy strategies as well as monitoring regulatory engagement and advocacy activities regionally and locally." At the corporate level, Cabot engages with trade associations such as "the International Carbon Black Association (ICBA), the American Chemistry Council (ACC), the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) and the Association of International Chemical Manufacturers (AICM)" and seeks leadership in "specific technical environmental and climate committees," showing active management of both direct and indirect lobbying paths. The company affirms a public commitment to align its engagement with the goals of the Paris Agreement, but we found no evidence that it publishes a dedicated climate-lobbying alignment audit or third-party review.
