United States Steel Corp
- Paris Agreement alignment
- Direct lobbying governance
- Regular monitoring cycle
United States Steel Corp discloses a governance structure for lobbying that connects its Government Affairs organization to its climate strategy. Specifically, it states that "Government Affairs is an organization structured to support the company's Sustainability and climate strategy by reporting directly to the Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy & Sustainability Officer." Additionally, the Vice President of Government Affairs is involved in the company's Executive Sustainability Committee, which "meets quarterly," and also serves on the Sustainability Leadership Steering Team. This indicates that there is oversight and integration of lobbying activities with the company's climate goals. However, while the company mentions alignment with its net-zero by 2050 goal and the Paris Agreement, "it is not yet 1.5C verified," and there is no detailed description of specific processes or mechanisms for monitoring or managing lobbying alignment, nor evidence of actions taken to align indirect lobbying through trade associations. The company does not disclose a comprehensive review or audit of its lobbying activities to ensure alignment with 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.
