Sonoco Products Co

Sonoco Products discloses only minimal information on how it governs climate-related external engagement, stating that "The Sustainability Council has representatives from all major business units. They are aware of and support Sonoco's climate change commitments." This indicates that a designated internal body exists and is expected to oversee whether external engagement activities align with the company's climate commitments, which suggests some level of oversight; however, the disclosure stops short of explaining any specific procedures, monitoring mechanisms, or review frequency, and it does not clarify whether the Council covers direct lobbying, indirect lobbying through trade associations, or how misalignments would be addressed. No individual accountability, detailed alignment process, or publicly available review of lobbying positions is provided. Consequently, while the reference to the Sustainability Council shows limited governance, the company does not disclose a fuller process for managing or auditing its climate lobbying activities.
