- Withdrawal mechanism
- Regular monitoring cycle
Fidelity National Information Services Inc (FIS) demonstrates a moderate level of governance in its lobbying activities, including some processes for alignment and oversight. The company states that its "Public Policy team shall be responsible for coordinating all lobbying registrations (entities and/or individuals) and reporting requirements," indicating centralized management of lobbying activities. Additionally, FIS requires that "corporate membership in trade associations or similar organizations that actively engage in advocacy for public policy issues must be reviewed and approved by Public Policy," which suggests a mechanism for ensuring alignment with public policy objectives. Employees seeking leadership roles in trade associations must also "first obtain approval from Public Policy," further reinforcing oversight. However, while FIS mentions a "Political Activities Policy that includes evaluating potential opportunities to collaborate with policymakers and other regulators around climate," there is no explicit evidence of a detailed process for aligning lobbying activities specifically with climate-related goals. The company does not disclose a recurring review or audit process for climate lobbying alignment, nor does it provide evidence of engaging with or exiting trade associations based on climate policy misalignment. Furthermore, while the Public Policy team and other governance bodies are mentioned, there is no indication of a specific individual or formal committee tasked with overseeing climate lobbying alignment. This indicates that while FIS has some governance mechanisms in place, its framework lacks comprehensive details and explicit focus on climate-related lobbying governance.
