Empresas CMPC SA has demonstrated a comprehensive level of transparency in disclosing its climate lobbying activities. The company has clearly named specific climate policies it has engaged with, including Chile's 'green tax reform,' the 'Long-Term Climate Strategy (LTCS)' established by the Climate Change Law, and the 'Framework Law on Climate Change.' These disclosures provide detailed information about the objectives and components of these policies, such as carbon neutrality, GHG emission reductions, and adaptation measures. CMPC has also been transparent about its lobbying mechanisms, detailing its participation in meetings, workshops, and public consultations during legislative processes, as well as indirect lobbying through associations like CLG-Chile, CORMA, and Acción Empresas. The company identifies specific targets of its lobbying efforts, including policymakers involved in Chile's legislative processes. Furthermore, CMPC has been clear about the outcomes it seeks, expressing support for the implementation of these policies without exceptions. It aligns its lobbying efforts with the Paris Agreement and emphasizes goals such as carbon neutrality, reducing GHG emissions, improving food security, and increasing water availability. This level of detail and alignment with international commitments illustrates CMPC's comprehensive approach to disclosing its climate lobbying efforts and objectives.

CMPC has established a robust governance process to ensure alignment of its climate lobbying activities with its climate commitments and sustainability goals. The company states that "Corporate Affairs oversees all engagements with trade associations and donations associated with political influence," indicating a structured approach to managing external engagements. Furthermore, "any activities pertaining to representation, company's stance, working groups, and technical and/or strategic aspects related to climate change are directed to the Sustainability Management department," which demonstrates a clear delegation of responsibilities to ensure expertise-driven oversight. The Sustainability Manager plays a key role in escalating issues to the "Sustainability and Regulation Committee, which convenes on a quarterly basis," showcasing robust oversight and accountability structures that include high-level executives such as "the Chairman of the Board, three Directors, the CEO, Corporate Attorney, Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Manager, Environment, Safety and Occupational Health Manager, and the Sustainability Manager." Additionally, CMPC actively participates in initiatives and coalitions such as the "World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD)" and "Corporate Leaders Group (CLG Chile)," which are dedicated to advancing decarbonization objectives aligned with scientific recommendations. While the governance process is strong, there is no mention of a published lobbying audit or detailed study of lobbying alignment, which would further enhance transparency and comprehensiveness.
