Direct Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Comment Score
Limited América Móvil provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. The company says it “engage[s] through industry associations in public policy debates” and notes that subsidiaries "monitor bills in their local legislatures," indicating an indirect mechanism and some internal tracking of legislation, but it does not specify whether this involves letters, meetings, consultations, or identify any particular government bodies or officials that are contacted. No climate-related laws, regulations, or bills are named, and the disclosures do not explain which jurisdictions or topics—such as carbon pricing, renewable-energy mandates, or emissions standards—are being addressed. The company states broad intentions such as advocating for “policies that support investment into clean technology solutions” and facilitating a transition to renewable energy, yet it does not articulate concrete policy changes, measurable targets, or positions for or against specific proposals. As a result, readers learn that some lobbying activity occurs, mainly through the GSMA and local subsidiaries, but receive little detail on the policies involved, the channels used, or the precise outcomes the company seeks. 1
Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Comment Score
Moderate America Movil’s disclosures reflect moderate climate lobbying governance, with formal oversight of its indirect lobbying through industry associations but limited detail on direct advocacy alignment and monitoring. The company explains that “we engage through industry associations in public policy debates concerning the global mitigation of climate change, encouraging the adoption of policies which are aimed at achieving increased investments in clean technology solutions,” and states that “our regulatory team is in charge of managing our memberships and engagements with industry associations in an effective manner.” It emphasizes that “one of the core elements of this system is the establishment of a solid governance framework to ensure that we conduct ourselves at all times in a transparent and responsible manner in connection with our engagements with industry associations at every level of our organization, including our senior management.” Oversight is assigned to “the Audit and Corporate Practices Committee of the Board of Directors of América Móvil, through the Compliance Officer, along with the Corporate Sustainability Department, [who] will be in charge of overseeing, verifying and auditing the observance of the provisions contained in this Policy.” However, the company does not disclose processes for ensuring alignment of its direct lobbying efforts, specific procedures for monitoring associations’ positions, or any dedicated climate-lobbying audit or public report, indicating gaps in direct advocacy governance. 2
