Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Strong	CP ALL provides a solid level of transparency around its climate-related lobbying. It names two identifiable policy frameworks it works to shape—the national “Plastic Waste Management 2018-2030 roadmap” and the “Policy Framework for Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging Waste in Thailand” —giving readers a clear sense of the laws and strategies at the centre of its engagement. The company also explains how it seeks to influence those policies through multiple concrete channels, stating that it “joined the focus group discussion panel hosted by [the] Pollution Control Department,” “actively participated in the working group ‘Plastic Circular Economy’” under the Public-Private Partnership for Sustainable Plastic and Waste Management, and signed an MOU for the “Green coffee shop” campaign with the Department of Climate Change and Environment. These references identify both the mechanisms (focus-group discussions, formal working groups, MOUs) and the specific government bodies targeted (Pollution Control Department, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, Ministry of Industry). Finally, CP ALL is explicit about what it wants those policies to deliver: reducing landfilled plastic waste and marine leakage, promoting circular-economy practices, improving waste segregation systems, creating value-added recycling channels, and increasing producer responsibility for packaging through an EPR scheme. By disclosing the concrete goals it advocates, the forums it uses, and the policy frameworks it addresses, the company demonstrates a strong—though not exhaustive—level of openness about its climate-policy lobbying activities.	3

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	CP ALL discloses a defined process for keeping its climate-related advocacy in line with its sustainability goals, explaining that "the Sustainability and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing all CPALL sustainability activities, including external engagement on climate change" and that "all activities and decisions that may involve policy influences will be assessed by the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee prior to implementation by the Sub-committee." This oversight structure, together with the statement that the procedure is intended to "make sure that activities that influence policy directly or indirectly are in line with our overall climate change strategy," indicates a formal sign-off mechanism that covers both direct and indirect policy engagement. The company also notes that "Chief Executive Officers, Managing Directors, Managers, and employees at all levels will have a role in supporting, promoting, and complying with this policy" and that "there shall also be monitoring and evaluation, and an annual reporting of performance against goals," showing some internal monitoring and escalation. Finally, it affirms a "public commitment to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement. However, the disclosure does not describe a detailed methodology for reviewing the positions of individual trade associations, provide examples of how misalignments are corrected, nor does it publish any dedicated lobbying-alignment audit or report.	2
