Gap Inc/The

Gap Inc. has established a defined governance framework for its political and regulatory engagement, centered on its Government Affairs department and senior leadership, yet it does not disclose a dedicated review process for ensuring climate-specific lobbying alignment. Under the "GAP INC. POLITICAL ENGAGEMENT POLICY," the company notes that "All corporate political contributions are reviewed and approved in advance by both the (i) Vice President of Government Affairs and (ii) the Chief Supply Chain, Strategy, and Transformation Officer (who oversees our environmental sustainability and climate efforts)," and that "Our corporate contributions are reviewed annually by the Board," which "receives periodic updates regarding our political activities." The company further affirms "Yes" to conducting its engagement activities "in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement" and highlights that it "partners on advocacy for climate policy in key sourcing markets," exemplified by signing "a call to the government of Vietnam to simplify and expand access to renewable energy." While these elements demonstrate clear sign-off procedures and named accountability, Gap Inc. does not disclose any specific mechanism - such as a climate-lobbying audit, trade-association review, or management process - to monitor and align its direct and indirect lobbying activities with its climate commitments.
