Direct Lobbying Transparency

| Moderate | Charoen Pokphand Enterprise provides a moderate level of transparency on its climate-related lobbying. It names two identifiable policies it seeks to influence—the “Thailand Voluntary Emission Reduction Program (T-VER)” and the broader “emissions trading schemes in Thailand/Thailand-ETS” framework—along with reference to forthcoming “Climate Change Law & Regulation,” giving readers a reasonable sense of the policy agenda it follows. The company is clearer about how it engages: it reports participating in “meetings, conferences, public webinars and seminars,” submitting formal responses to consultations, and working “through a trade association,” and it specifies the government bodies that receive these efforts, including the “Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning” and the “Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization.” Desired outcomes are expressed mainly in broad terms, such as driving projects that can be certified under T-VER and supporting the introduction of “carbon taxes,” but the disclosures stop short of detailing concrete legislative changes or quantitative targets it is advocating. Overall, the company discloses meaningful information on the policies and channels it uses, yet it remains general about the specific results it hopes to achieve through its lobbying. | 2 |
