Mohawk Industries Inc

Mohawk Industries discloses a targeted approach to aligning its indirect lobbying activities with its climate strategy by stating it "works with each association directly" and providing the example that "Mohawk's Director of Sustainability is on the Board of Directors for CARE, which allows the Company to directly influence its engagement activities." The company also enhances transparency through its "annual Prior Year Direct & Indirect Political Activity report" that lists each trade organization and "a range of the dues for each one of them," and by disclosing "a list of trade associations and chambers of commerce that may engage in lobbying activities, including each organization's name and membership fees paid by the Company in 2021." However, the company does not disclose a formal, recurring process for monitoring or managing climate-related lobbying, and we found no evidence of similar mechanisms governing direct lobbying or of a designated committee or individual - beyond occasional board seats - whose role is to oversee or review all company lobbying activities and assess alignment with its climate commitments. Additionally, while the ESG Executive Council and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee "help formulate strategies to respond to public policy, legislative, regulatory, political and social topics," the company does not explain how these bodies specifically examine or approve the positions of trade associations in relation to its climate objectives.
