Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Strong	Liontown Resources Limited discloses clear engagement with two named climate-related policies: the Federal Government’s Future Made in Australia Agenda, which it says aims to "maximise the economic and industrial benefits of transitioning Australia to a net-zero economy while diversifying global battery supply chains," and Australia’s Critical Minerals Strategy 2023 – 2030. The company provides detailed descriptions of its lobbying mechanisms, including in-person briefings by its MD/CEO and Investor Relations Manager to responsible ministers and their departments, participation in ministerial roundtables with industry peers, and contributions through industry association submissions, specifying both the methods and targets of its engagement. It also outlines the outcomes it seeks, notably supporting the Critical Minerals Strategy to grow Australia’s critical minerals sector and facilitate clean energy deployment, while aligning with the Paris Agreement and upholding high ESG standards across its supply chain. This level of disclosure demonstrates a strong degree of transparency around its climate-policy lobbying activities.	3

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
None	Liontown Resources has established a formal structure for sustainable development and ESG oversight, noting that its Sustainability and Risk Committee is “embedded into the governance structure, overseeing our risk management framework, sustainability practices and bolstering our commitment to responsible business practices” and that its ESG Manager is “responsible for directing strategic decision-making for ESG strategy at the executive and Board levels, overseeing a variety of functions (including climate and decarbonisation)…”. However, we found no evidence of any governance process specific to lobbying activities, either direct or indirect, and no description of how the company monitors or aligns lobbying with its policy goals. The company does not disclose any policy or procedure for reviewing or managing its engagement with policymakers or industry associations, nor does it provide a public commitment to conduct its engagement “in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” explicitly stating “No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years.”	0
