Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Gibraltar Industries Inc presents a compliance-focused approach to political engagement without any disclosed internal governance framework for lobbying or its alignment with climate objectives. The company emphasizes that it “has committed to complying with all national, state, and local laws regarding corporate participation in political affairs” and that “employees are barred from making political contributions or pledges of such contributions or other expenditures to any political organization or candidate for political office on behalf of Gibraltar.” In 2022, it “made zero contributions to political candidates, campaigns, and political action committees, and did not partake in any direct lobbying efforts,” and its indirect engagement consists solely of “routine membership fees” to trade associations. We found no evidence of any named individual or committee overseeing lobbying activities, no monitoring or review process, and no policy to align lobbying with climate or broader policy goals. The company also confirms that it does not have “a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement” and states “No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years,” underscoring the absence of dedicated climate lobbying governance.

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Moderate	Gibraltar Industries is open about the fact that it undertakes no direct climate-related lobbying. It states that “During 2022, Gibraltar has made zero contributions to political candidates, campaigns, and political action committees, and did not partake in any direct lobbying efforts,” and clarifies that its only payments to trade bodies such as the Solar Energy Industries Association and the American Road and Transportation Builders Association are routine membership fees. By declaring that it engaged in no lobbying, naming the associations through which any indirect advocacy might occur, and confirming that it therefore seeks no specific policy outcomes, the company provides a clear picture of its non-engagement, though it stops short of explaining why it has chosen this approach or detailing any positions taken within those trade groups.
