Lobbying Governance

Heartland Group has implemented a structured sustainability governance framework, including a Sustainability Committee established in November 2023 “to oversee Heartland’s Sustainability strategy and implementation plans” and that meets quarterly “to consider climate-related risks and opportunities and provide updates, guidance, and leadership regarding climate initiatives.” The committee’s charter explicitly includes “advocacy for sustainability issues,” and it receives a quarterly report from the Chief Operating Officer on the group’s “progress against the initiatives, metrics and targets.” However, we found no evidence of any governance process specifically for the company’s lobbying activities—there is no disclosed policy or mechanism to align or monitor direct or indirect lobbying with its climate objectives, nor any named individual or formal body tasked with overseeing lobbying engagement.
