Resumen: Businesses dominate the policymaking process, mostly prioritize short-term financial interests and provide minimal transparency, creating an inherent risk of corporate policy capture that has been exacerbated by practices across lobbying, advocacy and political spending. A new approach to corporate political engagement – building on existing frameworks and based on the familiar experience of developing human rights due diligence – can tackle these issues and enable companies to align their political engagement with the protection of human rights, delivery of ambitious environmental goals, support for civic institutions and the needs of society. The briefing sets out the actions that businesses should take to achieve this.
