Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	James Hardie Industries PLC describes a comprehensive ESG governance structure — noting that the “full Board of Directors has oversight of the company’s principles and strategy relating to ESG” and that the Executive Leadership Team, “headed by our CEO,” with the Chief Sustainability Officer as a member, provides guidance on sustainability issues — but it does not disclose any mechanisms, processes or oversight structures specifically governing its lobbying activities or ensuring alignment of lobbying with climate policy. There is no mention of policies, reviews or audits for direct or indirect lobbying, no named individual or committee responsible for lobbying governance, and the company explicitly states, “No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years” when asked about a Paris Agreement–aligned lobbying commitment. We found no evidence of any lobbying-governance framework or climate-lobbying oversight process in its disclosures. View Sources	E
