Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	ACCIONA Energía provides a reasonable level of transparency about the climate-related policies it tries to influence, naming a series of Spanish strategies and plans it has engaged on, including the Plan Nacional Integrado de Energía y Clima (PNIEC), the Agenda Urbana Española, the Estrategia de Movilidad Segura, Sostenible y Conectada a 2030, the Plan de Innovación para el Transporte y las Infraestructuras and the long-term strategy for energy renovation of buildings. By listing several identifiable measures, the company clearly signals the scope of its lobbying focus on decarbonisation and renewable-energy deployment. Its description of how it lobbies is far less detailed. The company notes that it participates in “public hearing procedures” and prepares “reports and position papers” through associations such as WindEurope and GWEC and that it “defends an appropriate dialogue with the regulating authorities” and “collaborates responsibly and openly in defining the regulation and policies implemented by the various Public Administrations.” These statements indicate the use of written submissions and association channels, but they do not name particular ministries, parliamentary committees or officials, nor do they specify whether the company also meets, writes letters or provides testimony, leaving the precise mechanisms and targets only partly transparent. With respect to the outcomes it seeks, the disclosure remains general. ACCIONA Energía expresses support for aligning national rules with the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement and cites broad aims such as promoting renewable hydrogen, offshore wind and simpler permitting for renewables, yet it does not articulate concrete legislative amendments, numeric targets or other specific changes it is urging policymakers to adopt. Overall, the company is clear about which climate policies it engages on, offers only limited insight into how and with whom it conducts that engagement, and provides minimal detail on the precise policy outcomes it pursues.	2

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	ACCIONA Energías Renovables discloses broad sustainability oversight but provides only limited information specific to lobbying governance. The company notes that "ACCIONA Energía created in 2021 the Audit and Sustainability Committee that serves as an instrument and provides support to the Board of Directors in the supervision of accounting, financial and non-financial information, the best practices in sustainability," and that "The Sustainability Management is the area that organises and promotes the initiatives and commitments of the 2025 SMP"; however, neither passage explains how lobbying activities—direct or through trade associations—are reviewed or managed. The sole explicit reference to alignment of policy engagement is the statement, "Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement?[…]Yes," which indicates a high-level commitment but does not describe monitoring mechanisms, responsible individuals, or processes for checking alignment. We found no evidence of a dedicated lobbying policy, no description of reviews of trade-association positions, and no named individual or board committee charged specifically with overseeing lobbying or climate-policy advocacy. This limited disclosure suggests the company has made a general commitment to align its engagement with Paris goals, but it does not reveal a structured governance process for ensuring or enforcing that alignment.	1
