Digital Realty Trust Inc

Digital Realty Trust outlines a process to assess alignment of its indirect lobbying activities, stating that "we review the policy positions of groups we participate in to assess alignment with our own goals and priorities, including those related to energy, sustainability, and climate change," and that "value and alignment are assessed annually at the time of membership renewal." It also notes that it "seeks to actively review and support the creation of work products from these groups that support our positions" and engages through co-chairing and participating in committees, such as being "active participants on their Real Estate Sustainability Committee (RESC), including co-chairing past forums, and participating on their RESC executive committee." However, the company does not disclose any governance mechanism for its direct lobbying, names no individual or formal body responsible for overseeing lobbying alignment, and provides no details of ongoing monitoring beyond annual membership reviews. This indicates moderate governance around indirect climate lobbying through associations but limited transparency on direct lobbying oversight and accountability structures.
