Promote Policy Advocacy

The challenge: The political landscape across the globe is changing, which makes planning beyond the immediate future an acute challenge for businesses. Adding to the uncertainty, regional differences in ideology can make advocacy feel especially risky.

The opportunity: One thing is clear – companies need regulatory stability. Political pressures may shift, but the risks of extreme weather and climate disruption are here to stay.

Climate policy creates opportunities for businesses. Many companies understand this clear benefit, with 84% keeping or accelerating toward their climate targets, which is possible through policy advocacy.

Managing climate risks must remain a top strategic priority for businesses looking to maintain stability across their value chain. Advocating for good climate policies and leveraging industry association groups accordingly is a critical part of this strategy. Through policy action, businesses can influence policymakers and regulators to benefit their bottom line, support their customers, and deliver value to shareholders.
