Direct Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment | Comment | Score |

Limited | Amdocs offers only a modest level of transparency on its climate-policy engagement. It identifies one concrete policy focus—the Israel Ministry of Environmental Protection’s voluntary Greenhouse Gas Emissions Registry—and indicates that it “participates in periodic meetings with the Ministry and other industry representatives,” as well as submitting its annual emissions data to the registry, thereby revealing two distinct engagement channels and a clearly named governmental target. The company’s policy stance is outlined in broad terms, chiefly through its stated desire to “support the expansion of reporting requirements of organizations,” but it does not spell out measurable changes or additional climate measures it wishes to see adopted. Finally, Amdocs clarifies the limits of its activity by stating, “Amdocs prohibits any political contributions activity. In 2022, we did not contribute as an organization to political campaigns, political organizations, lobbyists or lobbying organizations, trade associations and other tax-exempt political groups,” reinforcing that its lobbying is confined to the voluntary registry process rather than financial advocacy. Overall, the disclosure names a single policy, describes two basic engagement mechanisms, and provides only a high-level indication of the outcomes sought, leaving significant gaps in detail about its broader climate-related lobbying ambitions. | 1 |
