Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Boralex offers only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. It indicates that its President and CEO met with the premier of Quebec to discuss accelerating wind-energy development and that representatives participated in more than two dozen panels on the energy transition, but it provides no detail on letters, formal submissions, consultations or similar mechanisms, nor does it identify additional policymaking targets. The company says it has signed the COP27 Action Declaration and is "contributing to the energy transition," yet it does not name any specific laws, regulations or policy proposals it has tried to influence. Likewise, the stated objectives—avoiding more than one million tonnes of CO2 by 2025 and reaching carbon neutrality by 2050—are broad corporate climate goals and not clear legislative or regulatory outcomes it wants governments to adopt. Consequently, the disclosure leaves most of the substance, methods and intended results of Boralex’s climate policy engagement unexplained.	1

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Boralex discloses that it “monitors our policies and practices to ensure this alignment” when engaging with policymakers and that it would “implement a corrective action plan” including “a detailed gap analysis, identification of the measures needed to achieve alignment, and a clear timetable for implementing these measures,” and it highlights work “with their major industry/trade associations to advance alignment with the Paris Agreement.” However, the company does not disclose a specific individual or formal body that oversees or reviews these lobbying activities, nor does it provide a clear process for reviewing, signing off on, or exiting from associations whose positions may conflict with its climate goals. We found no evidence of any structured review or management procedures beyond general monitoring and participation, indicating limited transparency in its lobbying governance framework.	1
