WEX Inc. has established a formal oversight function, noting that "Our lobbying activities are overseen by our Government Affairs team" and that its Chief Operating Officer, International, leads its "electrification strategy" with Board members receiving "frequent updates on the direction and progress of our strategy." However, the company does not disclose any policy or process to ensure that these lobbying efforts are aligned with its climate or electrification goals, nor does it describe any mechanism for reviewing or managing the positions of trade associations or other indirect lobbying channels. We found no evidence of a specific review procedure, sign-off requirements, or climate-specific alignment checks in its engagement with policymakers, and no information about how the Government Affairs team ensures consistency with climate objectives.

WEX Inc provides only limited visibility into its climate-related lobbying. It does name two specific pieces of U.S. federal legislation with major climate components—the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022—and says it has "established dialogues with state and federal policymakers" responsible for their implementation, showing some clarity on the policy areas it touches. Beyond this, however, the company offers little detail on how it conducts this engagement, referring broadly to “engaging policymakers and legislators” and “dialogues” without clarifying whether this occurs through meetings, written submissions, participation in consultations, or other channels, nor does it identify the particular agencies, committees, or individual officials it approaches. The stated objectives are likewise high-level: the company speaks of bringing awareness of government support for sustainability practices, representing small-business customers, and generally encouraging investment in emissions-reducing technologies, but it does not spell out the concrete regulatory changes or quantitative targets it seeks. Taken together, the disclosure indicates some acknowledgement of climate-relevant policy lobbying but falls short of full transparency on the methods employed or the specific outcomes pursued.
