Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Strong	EMSTEEL Building Materials PJSC demonstrates a strong level of transparency regarding its climate lobbying activities. It clearly identifies the specific policy it engages on—the "UAE CO2 Taxation program"—and outlines its objectives, including supporting the UAE’s transition towards Net Zero by 2050, establishing an internationally recognized registry and MRV framework, and creating a compliance market. The company details the mechanisms it uses to influence policy, stating that it engages through "active participation, meetings, presenting information, exchanging ideas, and addressing any concerns or questions raised by policymakers or other government entities," targeting the policymakers and government entities drafting the UAE carbon taxation scheme. Finally, EMSTEEL explicitly states its policy outcome: it supports the UAE CO2 Taxation program without exceptions. This level of detail across policy focus, lobbying methods, and desired outcomes demonstrates a strong transparency in its climate-related lobbying.	3

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	EMSTEEL Building Materials PJSC has made a public pledge to align its policy engagement with international climate objectives, answering “Yes” to having a “public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” indicating a high-level assurance that its advocacy will follow Paris-aligned principles. However, the company does not disclose any formal oversight structures or identify any individual or body responsible for reviewing its lobbying alignment, nor does it describe specific monitoring or management processes for its direct or indirect policy-engagement activities, and we found no evidence of procedures to evaluate or enforce consistency between its lobbying and its climate goals.	1
