Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	NIO Inc. emphasizes broad corporate governance and ESG structures, stating that “we have been improving our corporate governance by optimizing the operation and service management system” and noting that “we have set up the Nominating and ESG Committee, and established an ESG management structure consisting of the Board of Directors, the Nominating and ESG Committee, the ESG steering team and the ESG working group.” However, the company does not disclose any mechanisms, oversight structures, or accountability measures specifically related to lobbying or climate lobbying activities. We found no evidence of a policy to ensure alignment of lobbying, no description of processes for monitoring or managing direct or indirect lobbying, and no individual or committee identified as overseeing lobbying alignment with the company’s goals. This indicates that while NIO has articulated a robust ESG governance framework, it provides no transparency on how it governs its political advocacy or engagement with trade associations, particularly on climate issues.
