Trinity Industries Inc

ISIN: US896522AH27 | United States | North America
Score 3 - Strong
Full assessment

Trinity Industries has established formal governance over its policy engagement by employing "an in-house government affairs team that consistently monitors and directs all direct and indirect activities influencing policy" and "works within and alongside Trinity's Legal and Compliance Department to ensure consistency with overall strategy," and by developing and publishing "CSR Report that outlines the company's high-level performance and commitments in business, governance, environment, and safety" through a "collaborative process of developing and publishing this report [that] further aligns business strategy with execution and communication." This indicates active oversight of both direct and indirect lobbying channels and a documented process for aligning those activities with its climate commitments. However, the company does not disclose any board-level or senior executive sign-off on its climate-related lobbying plan, provides no external audit or detailed review of its climate lobbying alignment, and offers no criteria for assessing or exiting trade associations whose positions conflict with its climate strategy, leaving the specifics of how its government affairs team applies climate considerations largely opaque.

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.
