Responsible Advocacy & Lobbying Policy

Last updated: September 1, 2026

At Evolution Marketing, we believe business can and must be used as a force for good. Since our founding in 2007, we have actively engaged in public policy, educational outreach, and civic advocacy exclusively to advance ecological regeneration, social equity, and climate justice. To ensure our advocacy efforts consistently reflect our core values, this policy establishes our binding governance standards, ethical parameters, and risk management practices for all public policy engagement.

Our advocacy is grounded in public benefit and science-based decision-making. Evolution Marketing only participates in policy outreach, regulatory comment periods, and collective advocacy campaigns that directly support positive environmental and social outcomes in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Climate Agreement, and B Lab standards. Every public position, sign-on letter, and testimony we endorse must be substantiated by reliable, peer-reviewed scientific data, published environmental research, or recognized sustainability frameworks. Furthermore, we enforce zero tolerance for bribery, corruption, or improper influence across all interactions with government entities and public officials. Prior to joining any third-party business coalition or collective sign-on effort, our leadership conducts thorough due diligence to verify that the partner organizations and campaign goals align with our environmental and human rights commitments.

Accountability and governance oversight are integral to our advocacy process. Evolution Marketing’s President and Founder holds exclusive authority and responsibility for approving all public policy initiatives, coalition partnerships, and advocacy positions. No team member or contractor may represent the company on policy matters without prior executive sign-off. Our advocacy engagements are audited annually and formally minuted during our governing body reviews to verify compliance with this framework. We disclose our past and ongoing advocacy efforts publicly in our annual sustainability reports. If any stakeholder has questions, feedback, or concerns regarding our policy engagement or ethical conduct, we invite them to contact us through at greenmkting.com/contact.
