Lobbying and Political Contributions

At present, Creative Attitude neither engages in lobbying and advocacy nor makes political contributions.

We use B Lab’s definitions. Lobbying and advocacy mean activities carried out by, or on behalf of, an organized group that involve communicating directly or indirectly with public officials, policymakers or their representatives to influence public decision-making — or seeking to influence public opinion beyond normal advertising and marketing in order to steer public decision-making. Political contributions mean financial or in-kind support given directly or indirectly to political parties, elected representatives, or individuals seeking elected office — including cash, event sponsorship, campaign materials or services, and donated staff time.

Anti-corruption and bribery

We hold a zero-tolerance position on corruption and bribery. We do not offer, promise, give, request or accept any payment, gift, hospitality, favor or advantage intended to improperly influence a decision by a public official, a client, a supplier or anyone acting on their behalf. We do not make facilitation payments — small unofficial payments to speed up routine processes — in any circumstance, including where they may be customary. This applies to anyone acting for or on behalf of Creative Attitude, including contractors and subcontractors.

Trade associations and other intermediaries

Organizations we belong to can lobby on behalf of their members, which means our position can be represented indirectly. Before joining or renewing a membership we review that organization’s stated social, environmental and policy positions for consistency with this policy. If one of them holds a lobbying position that undermines it, we will publicly state our position alongside theirs, how we are working to influence it, and our red lines — lobbying that opposes climate action or environmental protection, lobbying that opposes civil rights, voting rights or equity protections, or a refusal to disclose lobbying positions to members. Consultants and subcontractors are not authorized to lobby, make political contributions, or take a policy position on our behalf.

How we govern this

The Managing Member enforces this policy and applies it at three decision points: joining or renewing a membership, engaging a contractor or consultant, and any invitation to take a public position, sponsor an event or make a contribution. Compliance is evaluated at least annually and recorded, and any gap is corrected with a documented action and a date.

Raising a concern about our conduct

Anyone can raise a concern about our business conduct, including our lobbying practices, political contributions or anti-corruption conduct — through our Raise a Concern form or by email, anonymously if you prefer. Concerns are handled under our Grievance Procedure, which sets out our response timelines and our commitment to non-retaliation.

Why we put it in writing

We understand the scale of social and environmental impact, positive or negative, that can come from lobbying and political spending. A small studio saying nothing is still saying something. We would rather be on record.

If this changes

Should Creative Attitude begin lobbying or making political contributions, we commit to doing so within a responsible lobbying framework and to reporting on it annually — what we engaged on, with whom, and what we spent.

Who is accountable

Oversight of any decision related to lobbying or political contributions sits with Creative Attitude’s highest governing body, the Managing Member, Brooke B. Williams. This policy is reviewed at least every 36 months.

Questions or concerns can be sent to info@ourcreativeattitude.com or raised through our Raise a Concern process.

Approved and adopted on behalf of Creative Attitude, LLC by Brooke B. Williams, Principal + Chief Strategist.
