Choice Hotels International Inc

Choice Hotels International indicates that its "ESG Steering Committee helps ensure awareness and coordination of our public policy efforts" and that it is "committed to aligning our advocacy efforts with our corporate sustainability goals," reflecting a formal oversight body and a stated policy to align lobbying with sustainability objectives. The company "collaborates with several trade associations - such as the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA), the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the U.S. Travel Association and the International Franchise Association (IFA) - to advance sustainability initiatives," demonstrating active alignment of indirect lobbying. However, we found no evidence of a defined review or approval process for climate lobbying, no detailed monitoring or management procedures for these activities, and no individual executive or committee explicitly named as responsible for overseeing lobbying alignment, indicating moderate governance of its public policy advocacy with sustainability goals.
