ABM Industries Inc. discloses its advocacy activities related to climate policy, stating "We have engaged lobbyists advocate for legislation supporting energy savings-based performance contracting ESPC to finance improvements in buildings and promote energy efficiency" and that it is "engaged with ASHRAE to support the adoption of their building standards that promotes energy efficiency." However, the company does not disclose any processes or mechanisms to ensure these lobbying activities are consistent with its overall climate change strategy, as there is no mention of oversight, monitoring or accountability for its direct lobbying, no description of how it reviews or aligns third-party engagement, and no indication of any individual or committee responsible for governing these activities.

ABM Industries offers a basic level of transparency on its climate-related lobbying. It identifies the subject of its engagement, stating that it works on "energy savings-based performance contracting (ESPC) and deep energy retrofits within federal facilities," but it does not cite any additional climate measures, bills, or jurisdictions beyond this single U.S. initiative. The company also discloses how it lobbies, noting that "ABM has engaged lobbyists to work with congressmen directly," which clarifies that it relies on hired lobbyists for direct outreach to members of Congress, yet no other mechanisms or audiences are described. On policy positions, ABM indicates that its "position on the policy: Support with no exceptions" and says it seeks assistance with ESPC-related legislation, but it stops short of detailing concrete amendments, timetables, or quantitative targets it hopes to secure. Together, these disclosures give some insight into the company’s climate-policy advocacy but leave significant gaps in the breadth of policies covered, the range of tactics employed, and the specific legislative outcomes sought.
