Paramount Global

Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]Since the publication of our first ESG report in 2019, the issue has continued to grow in importance for Paramount. To make sure that our public policy engagements around environmental and sustainability matters match our climate strategy, we ensure open channels of communication between the relevant teams within the business and our public policy team consults across the business regularly on new regulatory developments, with the aim of making sure that our climate strategy is reflected in any positions we take.

Attach commitment or position statement(s)[…]We are members of the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and we reference targets aligned with 1.5º, though we do not explicitly refer to the Paris Agreement in our public reports. In the course of our business, Paramount leaders often meet with public officials in a host of countries to educate and advocate on issues that affect our company and our stakeholders. A few policy areas where we often focus are intellectual property (IP), copyright, taxation, and tax credit policies, along with some foreign trade issues. In addition, our Global Public Policy and Government Relations team will often interact with global and U.S.-based regulators like The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and The Federal Trade Commission. We may also engage with elected officials directly, or through industry associations such as the Motion Picture Association of America, NCTA – The Internet & Television Association, and the National Association of Broadcasters.

Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement?[…]Yes
