Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Phillips 66 provides minimal transparency regarding its climate lobbying activities. The company states "We work with governments as they develop policies that support lower-carbon energy systems," but it does not name any specific climate policies, legislation, or regulations it has engaged with. Phillips 66 also omits any description of the mechanisms it uses to engage policymakers, offering no details on meetings, letters, consultations, or the specific government bodies or officials it targets. Finally, it fails to disclose any measurable policy outcomes or desired regulatory changes, instead expressing only a broad support for lower-carbon energy systems without identifying particular goals or amendments it seeks to influence.
