Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	O-I Glass offers only a limited window into its climate-policy lobbying. It indicates that it works through industry bodies such as the Glass Packaging Institute and the European Container Glass Federation and supports sector campaigns like the EU “Close the Glass Loop” initiative, showing that indirect engagement via trade associations is one channel it uses, but it does not name specific governmental departments, legislators or consultation processes it targets. The company likewise refers in broad terms to “recycling and environmental regulations” and circular-economy measures, without identifying any particular bill, regulation or jurisdiction it has sought to influence. Finally, it frames its desired outcomes as general aspirations—such as expanding glass-recycling availability to all locations and increasing recycled content to 50 % by 2030—rather than spelling out the concrete legislative or regulatory changes it wants policymakers to adopt. Taken together, the disclosures demonstrate awareness of climate-related policy engagement but stop short of the detail needed for strong transparency.	D
