Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
None Grupo Argos does not disclose any governance process specific to lobbying; its public disclosures focus on climate risk oversight, stating that Progress and performance regarding fulfillment of the climate change strategy and monitoring the associated risks are reviewed periodically by members of the Sustainability and Corporate Governance Committee and the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee to support the Board of Directors activities and that Implementation of the climate change strategy is the responsibility of Grupo Argoss Steering Committee. It also highlights that The Comprehensive Risk Management System (SGIR, in Spanish) is the methodological framework used to ensure identification, measurement, evolution, evaluation, and follow-up of the risks associated with the climate change strategy, but we found no evidence of any internal mechanisms for governing direct or indirect lobbying activities, no description of how lobbying is monitored or aligned with its climate policy, and no disclosure of a responsible individual or committee overseeing lobbying efforts.

Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
Limited Grupo Argos acknowledges that it “participates in scenarios for building climate change-related public policies” and says it “engages with local governments” to ensure its views are reflected, demonstrating that the company is active in climate-policy discussions. However, it does not identify any specific laws, regulations or policy initiatives it has worked on, referring only in broad terms to climate-change public policy. The company also omits detail on how it conducts its advocacy: it does not explain whether it meets officials, submits letters, joins consultations or works through trade associations, nor does it name the government bodies or individual policymakers it tries to influence. Similarly, the disclosure states only a broad intention “to have a positive effect on climate change policy” and to support its own emissions-reduction commitments, without spelling out the concrete legislative or regulatory changes it seeks. As a result, while the company signals that it engages with governments on climate matters, it provides limited transparency about the specific policies, the mechanisms of engagement, and the outcomes it is pursuing.
