PG&E Corp
- Board oversight
- Named executive owner
- Regular monitoring cycle
PG&E Corp has established a defined governance process that ties its lobbying to its climate strategy through its longstanding Climate Change Policy Principles, which "guide our activities and ensure consistency with PG&E's climate change strategy," and is executed by a "cross-functional team comprised of representatives from across the company" that meets regularly with executives to "seek approval on policy positions." Oversight is provided by the "Sustainability and Governance Committee of the PG&E Corporation Board of Directors," while the "Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs and Chief Sustainability Officer" leads development and implementation of public policy. PG&E further notes that its "public policy work, including engagement with elected officials and policy makers, is done in collaboration with trade organizations" such as the Natural Resources Defense Council, yet the company does not disclose a formal process to review or realign the positions of those associations against its climate commitments, nor does it publish a dedicated lobbying audit or report assessing alignment between its advocacy and its stated goals.
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.
