Generac Holdings Inc

Score 1 - Limited
Full assessment

Generac discloses clear oversight over its policy advocacy through a requirement that "any political contributions without the prior written approval of Generac's Executive VP & General Counsel" and that "any political contribution in excess of $20,000 USD requires Board approval," and notes that "General Counsel and the Senior Vice President of Policy and Market Development oversee a team that represents Generac before federal and state agencies and legislatures." However, the company does not disclose any specific process for aligning its direct lobbying or its indirect engagement through associations with its climate-related objectives, nor does it publish a review or assessment of its trade association memberships for consistency with those objectives. We found no evidence of a defined climate-lobbying review, alignment policy or criteria for managing potential conflicts in its participation with industry bodies, indicating that while there is some governance around political contributions and general policy engagement, there is no disclosed mechanism for climate-specific lobbying alignment.

This assessment is part of the Lobbying Governance Index, covering 8,500 companies scored on whether they have processes to oversee their climate lobbying. See all companies in North America or all companies in United States.
