“…The enhancements to firm-level resources are expected to improve the effectiveness of two of its CPA strategies, as explored in the following subsections. When public officials consider an issue, they generally seek information about its content, scope, history, and parties affected (Attarça, 2005;Hillman & Hitt, 1999). First, the authors address the effect of the intensity of a firm's CCPs on its information political strategies defined by Hillman and Hitt (1999, p. 834) as seeking "to affect public policy by providing policy makers specific information about preferences for policy or policy positions and may involve providing information on the costs and benefits of different issue outcomes."…”

“…The link between CSR and CPA may also be externally focused in terms of the firm’s relationships with stakeholders outside of the firm. Firms practicing CSR may be able to improve relationships with external stakeholders (Googins, Mirvis, & Rochlin, 2007; Waddock & Graves, 1997), cultivate political allies (Attarça, 2005; Mattingly, 2004; Wang & Qian, 2011), and enhance the firm’s image (Navarro, 1998), each of which is expected to enhance its CPA effectiveness. Peterson and Pfitzer (2009) note that companies use CSR programs to signal to public officials that they are making a difference in the community, in turn fortifying their relationships with these same government officials.…”

This article examines the relationship between an aspect of a firm's corporate social responsibility (CSR), corporate community programs (CCPs), and the effectiveness of its corporate political activity (CPA). Developing a conceptual model based on resource-based view of the firm, the authors argue that the mechanism linking a firm's CCP to CPA mechanism is the effect of CCPs on the development of firm level resources. Specifically, the intensity of a firm's CCPs enhances a firm's human capital, organizational capital, and geographic resources, which in turn improve the effectiveness of two key aspects of CPA: information and constituency-building political strategies. This linkage of CCPs to CPA effectiveness may be particularly relevant when the firm faces unfavorable political markets.

“…No Brasil, a adoção de medidas regulatórias que aumentem a tributação de bebidas açucaradas deve se dar prioritariamente por meio de Lei federal ordinária, sancionada pelo Presidente da República após aprovação em ambas as Casas Legislativas (Câmara dos Deputados e Senado Federal), pois é atribuição do Congresso Nacional dispor sobre todas as matérias de competência da União, incluindo as que regem o sistema tributário, a arrecadação e a distribuição de rendas. Uma alternativa para a implementação da medida no país seria por meio da alteração das alíquotas do Imposto sobre Produtos Industrializados (IPI) incidentes sobre esse tipo de produto, as quais podem ser estabelecidas por meio de Decreto editado pelo Presidente da República (BRASIL, 1988 (ATTARÇA, 2005;LORD, 2000). Pode ser adotada pelas empresas para criar-lhes benefícios financeiros diretos ou indiretos, para mudar ou criar políticas que as favoreçam, ou simplesmente com o objetivo de manter as leis e políticas atuais, direcionando esforços para barrar medidas que as ameacem (LUX et al, 2012).…”

Introduction: Sugary drinks taxation is among a set of recommended public policies to tackle obesity and diet-related non-communicable diseases. However, it faces strong opposition from the industry, which uses corporate political activity (CPA) strategies and practices to prevent it. Objective: To assess whether CPA of the sugary drinks and their inputs industriesespecially electoral campaign financing and lobbyinghave influenced decision-making on sugary drinks taxation in the 55 th Congress of the Brazilian legislature (2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019). Methods: Data on campaign contributions from the sector to congressional candidates (Federal Senate in 2010 and Chamber of Deputies in 2014, available from the Superior Electoral Court, were assessed. Contributions were described according to variables related to sociodemographics, region, and political party. Generalized linear model analysis with negative binomial regression was used to assess the effect of the contributions on the chances of election. Legislative proposals related to sugary drinks taxation considered during the 55 th Congress were identified. Four of them were selected for a case study to explain their approval in the Federal Senate, using the Qualitative Comparative Analysis, and their subsequent rejection in the Chamber of Deputies. Results: Fifty-six corporate groups that produce sugary drinks and 62 that produce their inputs (sugar and fruit concentrates) contributed to the campaigns. In 2010, contributions from input industries prevailed while in 2014 those from sugary drinks industries did. Participation from corporate groups associated to Abir, Unica, and CitrusBR also prevailed. Contributions benefited 96 candidates to the Federal Senate and 585 to the Chamber of Deputies and helped elect 48 Senators and 237 Federal Deputies. Four Legislative Decree bills aimed at keeping tax benefits to soda industries which operate in the Manaus Free Trade Zone (MFTZ) were selected for the case study. The interests of major sugary drink industries prevailed in the Federal Senate, where the favorable votes of the Senators were explained by the following conditions, isolated or combined: representing a State with free trade area of the MFTZ; being filiated to PSDB; having received campaign contributions from the sector; having an interest promoted by one of the Senators who supported the maintenance of the tax benefits to soda industries in the MFTZ; representing a State from the North or Northeast; defending tax benefits for their own region; having being elected in 2010. In the Chamber of Deputies, rejection of the bills was determined by the absence of political articulation of the representatives of Amazonas State and the deliberation in the Finance and Taxation Committee, where there was a group of members who were favorable to the interests of soda industries based in other States. Members of both legislative Houses showed little concern regarding the public health issue involved. Conclusion: The actions taken by the private sector to maintain th...
