This scorecard provides a detailed breakdown of InfluenceMap's assessment of Chevron's disclosures on climate policy engagement. This does not include an assessment of the company's real-world climate policy engagement, which can be found on InfluenceMap's online profile of Chevron, accessible via the buttons on the right hand side of the page.
The disclosure assessments are directly integrated into the CA100+ Net Zero Company Benchmark as part of InfluenceMap's Climate Policy Engagement Alignment’ assessment, under two distinct indicators:
In 2023, InfluenceMap’s methodology to assess corporate disclosures on climate policy engagement was formally updated in line with the Global Standard on Responsible Climate Lobbying and stakeholder input. The detailed methodology - as well as additional resources including best practice guidance and Chevron's company profile - is accessible via the buttons on the right hand side of the page.
A summary of Chevron's performance under this assessment is shown below, using the traffic-light assessment framework shown in the key. A more detailed breakdown is available below.
| Indicator | Score |
|---|---|
| Accuracy of Climate Policy Engagement Disclosure | No, does not meet criteria |
| Sub-Indicator | Score |
|---|---|
| Accuracy of Direct Climate Policy Engagement Disclosure | No, does not meet criteria |
| Accuracy of Indirect Climate Policy Engagement Disclosure | No, does not meet criteria |
A summary of Chevron's performance under this assessment is shown below, using the traffic-light assessment framework shown in the key. A more detailed breakdown is available below.
The Review Score (0-100) assesses corporate performance against seven indicators, using the same traffic-light framework. A ‘Green’ scores 2 points, a ‘Yellow’ scores 1 point, and a ‘Red’ scores 0 points. This total is converted into a percentage from 0 to 100, calculated using the total number of points available (14). As such, only certain scores within the 0 to 100 range are possible under this methodology. A Review Score of 100 would indicate that a company has met all of the assessment criteria related to the review process.

This is an assessment of the accuracy of a company's reporting on its direct and indirect (via industry associations) climate policy engagement activities.
InfluenceMap utilizes its proprietary database to assess how corporate disclosures on climate policy positions and engagement activities compare to InfluenceMap's independent assessment of the companies' and industry associations' real-world climate policy engagement. In short, it assesses the extent to which the company has disclosed on all climate policy engagement identified by InfluenceMap's database.
The tables below provide: (1) a breakdown of Chevron's performance under each sub-indicator, using the traffic-light assessment framework shown in the key; and (2) examples of leading practice by companies.
Has the company published an accurate account of its corporate climate policy positions and engagement activities (as compared to InfluenceMap’s database)?
Chevron has published a partial account of its positions and engagement activities on specific climate-related policies, but excludes over 3 cases of material evidence of direct climate policy engagement identified by InfluenceMap's database.
The company has a webpage where it has linked its 2023 comment submissions on climate policies, such as on the US National Environmental Policy Act revisions, US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, and EPA's GHG standards for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. Chevron also disclosed its advocacy on California’s Maximum Gross Gasoline Refining Margin and Penalty in May 2024 comments. However, Chevron has not disclosed a complete and accurate account of its climate policy engagement.
For example, in the US, the company opposed measures to reduce methane emissions from livestock manure management operations, under the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard in February, August and October 2024 comments to policymakers. In Canada, the company sent a joint industry letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney in April 2025 calling for the withdrawal of the proposed Oil & Gas Emissions Cap and the Output-Based Pricing System.
Chevron appeared supportive of Australia's Low-Carbon Fuel Standard in a July 2024 consultation response and supported Australia's 2035 emissions targets with exceptions in May 2024 comments. According to InfluenceMap's methodology, a further point is subtracted as more than one year has passed since the company's last detailed disclosure.
Enel has published a complete and accurate account of its positions and engagement activities on specific climate-related policies, and this is aligned with InfluenceMap's assessment of the company using its LobbyMap database. Enel included its climate advocacy activities, positions, and links to the company’s government consultation responses to specific climate-related policies from 2022-2024 in its 2023 Climate Policy Advocacy report, published April 2024. It also covered a range of regions in its disclosure, including Global, Europe, North & South America, Africa, and the Asia Pacific.
BP partially met the assessment criteria under this indicator, as it excluded material evidence of climate policy engagement. However, BP’s ‘Advocacy Activities’ webpage provides a clear and detailed disclosure of the company’s climate policy engagement, with filters for jurisdiction; date; and topic, including links to relevant consultation responses. It also contains sorting options for most recent, and most relevant.
Has the company published an accurate account of the climate policy positions and engagement activities of the industry associations of which it is a member (as compared to InfluenceMap’s database)?
Chevron has disclosed a partial list of its industry association memberships. The company has not disclosed its membership to several industry associations outside the US, such as Australian Energy Producers (APPEA), Offshore Energies UK, International Gas Union, and Instituto Brasileiro de Petróleo e Gás (IBP).
Further, Chevron has not disclosed an account of its industry associations' positions and engagement activities on climate policy. Chevron has therefore excluded key instances of engagement with specific climate-related policies by its industry associations.
InfluenceMap has found that the US Chamber of Commerce advocated to weaken EU Methane Regulation for the energy sector in a March 2025 letter. Texas Oil and Gas Association opposed US Environmental Protection Agency's GHG Emissions Standards for Heavy Duty Vehicles in an October 2024 joint industry brief. Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers opposed Canada’s Oil and Gas Emissions Cap in March 2024 letter to policymakers
See Appendix A below for details of the company's industry association memberships.
Unilever has published a complete and accurate account of its industry associations' positions and engagement activities on specific climate-related policies. In its March 2024 industry association review, the company attached LobbyMap profile links to each association’s assessment. Iberdrola published a largely complete and accurate of its industry associations' positions and engagement activities on specific climate-related policies.
Iberdrola and its North American subsidiary Avangrid both disclosed the climate policy engagement activities of their industry associations in their respective industry association climate lobbying reviews.
Chevron published its 2023 "Climate Lobbying Report" in April 2023.
However, this report did not include a review of alignment. The minimum criteria for a company to be assessed under this methodology is for the corporate disclosure to include a review of alignment of its direct and/or indirect climate policy engagement, either against the company's own chosen criteria or the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement.
In addition, company reviews published more than two years prior to the end of InfluenceMap’s data collection period for the Climate Action 100+ Net Zero Company Benchmark 2025 assessments - i.e. August 1st 2025 - will not be included in the updated review assessments.
As such, Chevron's 2023 disclosure is not included in the review assessments.
Yes, meets criteria
Partial, meets some criteria
No, does not meet criteria
The table below provides a ranking of Chevron's industry associations currently covered by InfluenceMap’s database by Performance Band, i.e. a full measure of a company’s climate policy engagement, accounting for both its own engagement and that of its industry associations. Detailed profiles for all industry associations can be explored via the links in the table.
Industry associations are categorized by InfluenceMap as having climate policy engagement that is aligned, partially misaligned or misaligned with delivering the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement by Performance Band:
The ranking table below is updated automatically on a continual basis as: (1) new evidence is collected for the industry associations; (2) new industry associations are added to the company profile; (3) industry associations are removed from the company profile, e.g. if the company leaves the association.
As such, the industry associations and/or scores in the ranking table below may differ from the findings in Identify & Assess (Indirect) above, which was written on the date of assessment. See the top of this page for the date of assessment.
