Direct Lobbying Transparency

| Moderate | Havells India offers a reasonable, though uneven, picture of its climate-related lobbying. It identifies the main policy files it works on, naming three concrete Indian initiatives—“E-Waste management rules and EPR Guidelines, Green carbon credit policy, Phasing out Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)”—which makes it clear what legislative or regulatory programmes are in its sights. The company also acknowledges that it “engages directly with policymakers” and participates in sector trade bodies such as CII, ELCMA and CEAMA, indicating both direct and association-based channels of influence; however, it does not reveal whether this engagement takes the form of meetings, submissions, letters or other tools, nor does it name the ministries, regulators or officials it approaches. On objectives, Havells signals broad support for reducing carbon emissions, responsible e-waste management and the phase-out of HFCs, but it stops short of articulating any concrete amendments, timelines or quantitative targets it wants adopted. Taken together, the disclosures show moderate transparency on which climate policies it addresses, limited clarity on how it lobbies, and only general statements on what outcomes it seeks. | 2 |
