Limited	Irish Continental Group PLC provides only limited insight into its climate-policy advocacy. It identifies several specific regulations that affect its business – including the EU Emissions Trading System, the forthcoming FuelEU Maritime regulation and the wider EU “Fit for 55” package – and notes that it is “monitoring and assessing” a similar UK emissions-trading scheme. However, beyond these references the company does not outline any concrete lobbying activity directed at those measures. Its description of engagement channels is sparse, stating simply that “we are engaging with regional trade bodies to ensure that our position is heard and understood at Governmental and European Union level,” without clarifying whether this involves meetings, letters, formal consultations or other direct approaches, nor naming the public-sector bodies it addresses. Likewise, the company offers only broad statements of intent, such as supporting the International Maritime Organization’s net-zero ambition and explaining that it has introduced EU-ETS-related customer surcharges “from 1 January 2024,” but it does not spell out the policy changes, amendments or targets it seeks to secure through its interactions with policymakers. Taken together, these disclosures acknowledge some involvement in climate-related policy discussions yet fall short of a detailed, transparent account of what the company lobbies for, how it lobbies, and the outcomes it wishes to achieve.
