Tata Consumer Products provides only limited information on climate lobbying governance, disclosing a public commitment to align its engagement with the goals of the Paris Agreement but offering no detail on how this is monitored or enforced. The company confirms that it has a position statement—"Yes"—to conduct its engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement, and states that "TCPL actively engages in various activities across its business divisions and geographies that align with the company's philosophy." It also lists its affiliations with major trade bodies such as the "Confederation of Indian Industries (CII)" and "Federation of India Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI)," yet the company does not disclose any process for reviewing or managing those indirect lobbying activities, nor does it name an individual or committee responsible for overseeing alignment of its policy influence with its climate commitments.

Tata Consumer Products Ltd gives only limited visibility into its climate-policy lobbying. The disclosures show that the company is involved in sustainability initiatives such as the India Sustainability Tea Programme, a Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Malawi, and interactions with bodies like the Tea Board of India and the Kenyan Tea Development Association, but they do not describe concrete lobbying tools such as formal submissions, meetings, or letters, nor do they consistently identify the policymaking officials being approached. The company refers to broad policy areas—adaptation and resilience to climate change, energy-efficiency measures and sustainable agricultural practices—but it does not name specific laws, regulations or legislative proposals it has tried to influence. Likewise, the outcomes sought remain general: it indicates a wish to “make it mandatory for tea farmers to follow good agricultural practices” and to build smallholder capacity for climate adaptation, yet provides no detailed policy positions, targets or legislative changes it is advocating. Overall, the company’s statements demonstrate some acknowledgement of climate-related engagement but fall short of the detail needed to understand its actual lobbying activities, mechanisms and objectives.
