Direct Lobbying Transparency

Comprehensive | ComfortDelGro Corp Ltd provides a highly detailed picture of its climate-related lobbying. It names several clearly identifiable policies it has worked on, including the move to “extend the statutory lifespan of electric taxis from 8 to 10 years,” its contributions to Singapore’s Long-Term Low Emissions Development Strategy and 2030 Nationally Determined Contribution, and measures within the “Singapore Green Plan 2030” such as installing 60,000 public charging points and electrifying half of the national bus fleet. The company is equally explicit about how it seeks to influence these measures: it “actively engage[s] local authorities to share experience and business considerations,” participates in formal public consultations run by the National Climate Change Secretariat, and uses high-profile platforms such as the COP27 Singapore Pavilion to communicate its views—all of which identify both the mechanisms (direct meetings, written submissions, public-forum advocacy) and the specific policymaking targets. Finally, the desired outcomes are spelled out in concrete terms: extending electric-taxi lifespans to make the vehicles commercially viable, accelerating electric-vehicle uptake, expanding charging infrastructure to 60,000 points nationwide, and ensuring that electric buses comprise half of the public fleet by 2030. This level of specificity across policies, methods and objectives demonstrates comprehensive transparency in the company’s climate-policy lobbying. | 4 |
