Direct Lobbying Transparency
| Overall Assessment | Comment | Score |

| Limited | Gold Road Resources discloses only limited information about its climate-policy lobbying. It does identify one concrete policy area—the Australian Government’s Safeguard Mechanism for large industrial emitters—and notes that it is “monitoring” forthcoming Nature Positive legislation, indicating some awareness of the policy landscape, but it does not describe any other climate measures it has engaged on or confirm that these are the only ones. The company states that its Board has engaged with the joint-venture partner’s board on renewable energy at the Gruyere mine, yet it gives no detail on how it approaches government decision-makers, whether through meetings, submissions, letters, or membership of industry associations, nor does it name any specific public-sector targets. Likewise, the firm outlines high-level ambitions such as reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 and pursuing renewable energy projects, but provides no clear statement of the legislative or regulatory changes it is advocating to help achieve those aims. In the absence of concrete mechanisms, identifiable lobbying targets, or clearly articulated policy outcomes, the company’s transparency on climate lobbying remains minimal. | 1 |
