Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Piedmont Office Realty Trust Inc appears to have no explicit governance process to align its lobbying activities, including climate-related lobbying. While Piedmont discloses that “Piedmont’s ESG Steering Committee supports our on-going commitment to environmental, health and safety, corporate social responsibility, and other relevant public policy matters,” and that this “committee meets quarterly and regularly reports to the Board of Directors through the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee,” the company does not disclose any procedures for overseeing or managing direct or indirect lobbying efforts, nor any policy for aligning its lobbying with climate objectives. We found no evidence of a dedicated review process, no named individual or body responsible for lobbying governance, and no mechanism to ensure alignment of its public policy engagement with climate goals.
