Xerox Holdings Corp

Score 3 - Strong
Full assessment

Xerox's climate lobbying governance is anchored in its Office of Global Government Affairs, which "coordinates and oversees all policy-based interactions with governments" and "is responsible for undertaking comprehensive annual reviews of our environmental partnerships to ensure alignment of Xerox's environmental priorities." This formal body also has "the exclusive authority to express the Xerox position on matters of public policy, including climate change," ensuring the company "speaks with one voice" in these engagements. In addition, the Office of Global Government Affairs is charged with "tracking external developments including climate change policy and determining if they are likely to affect Xerox products and operations" and, through trade associations and partnerships, "tracks applicable climate change legislation and policy that may affect the company." While this framework indicates strong governance of both direct engagements and indirect representation, the company does not disclose a specific process for addressing or exiting associations whose positions diverge from its climate priorities, nor a dedicated board-level sign-off mechanism on climate lobbying plans.
