Keurig Dr Pepper Inc

Keurig Dr Pepper maintains a formal oversight framework for its public policy advocacy, with the "KDP Board of Directors has oversight responsibility over our public policy advocacy, including our lobbying, KDP Political Action Committee activities, and payments to trade associations and other tax-exempt organizations that may be used for political purposes" and the Vice President of Government Affairs "is responsible for managing KDP's public policy engagement strategy and regularly reviews our legislative priorities and political contributions with KDP's Executive Leadership Team." The company's Government Affairs team addresses both direct lobbying and "memberships in trade associations" and states that "Our Vice President of Government Affairs, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, and General Counsel review KDP's engagement and continued alignment with trade associations and their issue specific policies annually," demonstrating a mechanism for monitoring indirect lobbying. While Keurig Dr Pepper affirms that it has a public commitment to conduct engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement and has a climate policy combining "mitigation, adaptation and engagement," we found no evidence of a designated climate-lobbying review process or specific criteria to assess the alignment of its direct or indirect lobbying activities with its climate goals, and the company does not disclose any climate-specific lobbying audit or third-party assessment. This indicates strong overall lobbying governance with named oversight and indirect-review procedures, but weak transparency on how those structures specifically govern climate-related lobbying alignment.
