Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Hershey’s disclosures focus on ESG and climate-related governance rather than lobbying, stating that "Oversight of ESG governance resides with our Board of Directors" which "reviews and approves our ESG priorities and their associated strategies including our climate strategy and related goals," and that "The Governance Committee oversees governance of Hershey’s ESG policies and programs ... including our GHG emissions and climate-related strategies." We found no evidence of any governance process for directing or aligning lobbying activities—there is no mention of oversight, monitoring, or accountability measures for direct or indirect lobbying, nor any process for ensuring alignment of lobbying with the company’s climate goals.
