| Comprehensive | Calix Ltd provides a highly detailed picture of its climate-policy lobbying. It lists a wide range of specific measures it has engaged on, including the Australian Government’s Carbon Leakage Review, the revised Safeguard Mechanism, the Green Metals and Critical Minerals Production Tax Incentive consultations, its response to the U.S. Department of Energy Request for Information on Transforming Industry, a submission to the Californian Air Resources Board Net-Zero Emissions Strategy for the Cement Sector, and engagement with European instruments such as the EU Emissions Trading System and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. The company also spells out how it lobbies and who it approaches: formal written submissions to the Australian Government, recommendations sent to the U.S. DOE, participation in the CARB stakeholder workshop, dialogue with the European Commission, and collaboration through government-funded programmes such as ARENA, HyGate and EU Horizon 2020. Finally, Calix is explicit about what it wants these interventions to achieve, backing an Australian CBAM to prevent carbon leakage, supporting the Safeguard Mechanism as a driver for large-emitter abatement, calling for “enhanced incentives for process emission capture under Section 45Q of the US tax code,” advocating fair access to CO₂ transport and storage infrastructure, and proposing new hydrogen and green-metal production tax incentives and contracts-for-difference to underwrite early projects. This breadth of policy references, clarity on engagement channels and identification of concrete legislative changes demonstrates a comprehensive level of transparency around the company’s climate-related lobbying activities. | 4 |
