Marvell Technology discloses a limited process for aligning its engagement activities with its climate strategy, relying on cross-functional ESG Working Groups and executive sponsorship rather than a dedicated lobbying governance framework. It explains that “to commit to conduct our engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement, we signed the Business Ambition for 1.5°C Pledge,” and that “the cross-functionality of the working groups combine with the executive level of sponsorship [and] adds a layer of checks and balances to ensure that all activities are consistent with Marvell’s overall climate change strategy.” The company further notes that it “does not make political contributions through money, time or in-kind services or engage with outside lobbyists” and that “we do not have a political action committee, nor do we make contributions to third-party committees, organizations or special funds.” We found no evidence of any formal process or criteria for reviewing specific advocacy or lobbying positions, no mechanism for monitoring indirect lobbying through industry associations, and no designated individual or committee with explicit oversight of political engagement alignment with climate goals.

Marvell Technology gives only limited visibility into its climate-related lobbying. It states that it "engage[s] with government representatives to provide information and education on issues that affect our industry" and notes having "engaged directly with officials to provide our expertise" on matters such as the CHIPS for America Act, yet it does not name any climate-specific laws or regulations it has tried to influence, instead referring generically to policies that support the semiconductor sector and to membership in the Semiconductor Climate Consortium. The company therefore discloses a lobbying mechanism—direct engagement with government officials and participation in industry coalitions—but does not identify which authorities were approached. Likewise, Marvell describes broad aspirations to align its greenhouse-gas targets with a 1.5 °C pathway and to help shape policies that foster “resilience and innovation” in data infrastructure, but it does not spell out the concrete legislative or regulatory changes it is seeking. As a result, while the company acknowledges that it lobbies and provides a general rationale, it offers very little detail on the particular climate policies, the exact methods used, or the specific outcomes it is pursuing.
