Score 3 - Strong
Full assessment

DuPont de Nemours, Inc. has established a clear governance process to align its direct and indirect lobbying with its climate change strategy, combining Board-level oversight and cross-functional engagement mechanisms. The Board's Environment, Health, Safety & Sustainability Committee "oversees and advises the Board on the Company's sustainability strategy, including the Company's sustainability goals and actions, public policy management, advocacy priorities, community impact contributions, climate action, corporate reputation management, and other emerging issues," and "reviews the Company's Sustainability Report, sustainability policy positions, strategy regarding political engagement and corporate social responsibility initiatives," receiving "reports from the Chief Technology & Sustainability Officer and/or the Chief Operations & Engineering Officer on climate-related matters bi-annually, or on a more frequent basis." On the operational level, DuPont "assure[s] consistency between our engagement activities with policy makers and trade associations and our climate change strategy through scheduled weekly meetings between members of our Government Affairs, Public Affairs, and Sustainability teams," which enable awareness of engagement activities and understanding of climate change strategy, with agenda items such as proposed mandatory climate disclosures by the SEC. The company further confirms a public commitment to align its engagement activities with the goals of the Paris Agreement. While these structures demonstrate oversight, defined processes, and named responsible bodies, the company does not disclose a dedicated climate lobbying audit or specific criteria for evaluating its involvement in trade associations whose positions may conflict with its climate policy.
