officials. The belief statement is shared with all approved contributors, and contains our beliefs that: • Voting is a sacred right and responsibility, one that should be exercised freely and enfranchised widely • At the conclusion of the election process — in its entirety — a winner is determined, and we accept the outcome • The transition of political power from an office holder to his or her successor is done peacefully • The legislative process should be transparent, with robust and thoughtful debate rooted in facts and data; and that discourse among legislators be civil • Public policy is best when developed by consensus and with bipartisan participation and civil discourse McKesson believes that transparency and accountability with respect to political expenditures and lobbying are important. In the U.S., we voluntarily disclose corporate political contributions and file federal and state reports on lobbying activities where required by law. Additionally, we provide a list of trade associations to whom our annual payments exceed $25,000 and share the criteria we use to evaluate trade associations, as we may not support every position they take. We also prohibit trade organizations from using our contributions for political purposes. In addition to enhancements made every year since 2017, we recently revised our Political Engagement and Lobbying Policy . This update included clarification of the Board’s oversight of lobbying activities and expenditures related to laws or regulations governing the distribution of controlled substances, and it describes our policy priorities and material lobbying efforts in the year. This update also reflects the Board’s commitment to disclose to our shareholders on an annual basis the aggregate dollars we spend on lobbying activities. Our Public Affairs team provides updates to the Board at least annually on such matters consisting of reports on public policy issues, political engagements, lobbying activity and corporate political contributions. Voting is a sacred right and responsibility , one that should be exercised freely and enfranchised widely.
