Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Comprehensive	Türkiye Şişe ve Cam Fabrikaları discloses a high level of detail about its climate-related lobbying. It names several concrete measures it has worked on, including the Regulation on the Management of Packaging Waste, the Mandatory Deposit and Return Scheme, the End-of-Waste approach, and the creation of a national carbon-pricing trading system, as well as support for Turkey’s Intended Nationally Determined Contribution. The company also explains how it engages: it collaborates directly with the Ministry of Environment and Urbanism, participates in workshops and meetings with that ministry and local municipalities, represents the glass sector in setting recycling targets, and follows up on the Partnership for Market Readiness project—clearly identifying both the mechanisms used and the government bodies targeted. Finally, it is explicit about what it wants to achieve, such as boosting cullet recovery to cut production-related emissions, increasing the glass-cullet ratio in containers, establishing the regulatory and technical foundations for carbon pricing, and developing national eco-labelling criteria. Together, these disclosures provide comprehensive transparency across policies lobbied, lobbying channels, and the specific climate outcomes the company seeks.	4
