Lobbying Governance

MercadoLibre’s governance process engages “the Environmental Sustainability technical team, with the support of the Government Relations team and external experts” to “monitor the progress of the issue in the government chambers of all the countries where Mercado Libre operates,” ensuring its direct advocacy is aligned with its climate commitments. It also aligns its indirect lobbying by joining “CEBDS (Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development), which has a strong presence in this area and represents the interests of the business group vis-à-vis the federal government,” allowing it to anticipate policy developments. Oversight responsibilities are clearly allocated to these teams, demonstrating a structured approach. However, the company does not disclose a formal climate-lobbying policy, any board- or executive-level review mechanism, or a publicly available audit assessing its climate lobbying alignment.
