VF Corp

VF Corp has established a formal climate lobbying governance process that includes cross-functional coordination and senior leadership oversight, but it does not disclose how it manages indirect lobbying through industry associations or publish a dedicated lobbying alignment report. Specifically, "VF senior leadership is engaged and supportive of our Climate Change policy engagement," and "VF's Sustainability and Responsibility team coordinates efforts with Corporate Communications and our Government Affairs teams and other key stakeholders before engaging," ensuring that "any participation is evaluated for alignment and support of VF's own internal position regarding climate change." The company further states that if an engagement "is in potential conflict with our internal position," it will be handled on "a case-by-case basis" and is "ultimately approved by the Executive Leadership Team," and it confirms a "public commitment" to "conduct [its] engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement." However, we found no evidence of a process for overseeing indirect lobbying through trade or industry associations or of a publicly available audit or review of its climate lobbying alignment.
