Mota-Engil discloses a basic oversight mechanism for its lobbying activities, noting that “political influence and interest group lobbying are conducted by a hired entity under the supervision of the Mota-Engil Group’s Chairman” and that it “ensures that its actions remain aligned with the principles of ethics and independence, fostering a transparent dialogue with public bodies.” This indicates the company has a named individual responsible for overseeing its lobbying efforts. However, the company does not disclose any policy or formal process to review or manage the alignment of its climate-related lobbying positions, nor any procedures to assess the climate stance of associations in which it participates. We found no evidence of a regular audit, board-level review, or criteria for evaluating indirect lobbying through trade bodies against its environmental objectives. While the hired entity is listed on the EU Transparency Register and addresses issues such as “renewable energy policies and investment” and “environmental sustainability (reduction in carbon emissions/carbon capture),” the company does not specify how it ensures these activities consistently reflect its climate goals.
