Full assessment

PACCAR has established a robust governance process for climate-related lobbying, centrally managing policy engagement and oversight by senior leadership. Its U.S. public affairs office in Washington, D.C. "reports to the corporate General Counsel to ensure consistent alignment with overall business strategy including climate related priorities," while EU lobbying via the European Automobile Manufacturer's Association "reports to PACCAR's President," and both executives are "members of PACCAR's executive operating committee ensuring consistent climate strategy across business units and geographies." The company also "evaluates and publicly discloses its direct and indirect (i.e., through industry trade associations) climate policy engagement activities" aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement via its annual CDP report (section C12.3). This governance framework names clear oversight - General Counsel, who "reports to the Chief Executive Officer, who is a member of the Board of Directors," and the President - demonstrating accountability for both direct and indirect lobbying. However, PACCAR does not disclose a dedicated climate-lobbying audit or third-party review specifically assessing the alignment of its lobbying efforts, nor does it outline a formalized, periodic audit process to review and manage both its direct and indirect lobbying positions against its climate commitments.

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.
