Score 2 - Moderate
Full assessment

Simon Property Group establishes a formal reporting process to ensure its policy engagement is aligned with its climate strategy, stating that it "ensures that all activities influencing policy are consistent with Simon's overall climate change strategy." The company designates the Director of Sustainability to "provide regular updates to executives on all engagements including those with trade associations such National Association for Real Estate investment trust (NAREIT)" and requires that she "reports to the General Counsel on a weekly basis as well as to the Environmental Social Governance Executive Committee," demonstrating clear ownership and oversight at the executive level. However, while this framework covers indirect lobbying through trade associations and provides a defined reporting cadence, the company does not disclose any specific mechanisms for overseeing or aligning its direct lobbying efforts with its climate commitments, nor does it outline how individual advocacy activities are assessed outside of association relationships.

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.
