Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Banca Transilvania SA offers only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. It references broad policy frameworks such as the European Green Deal and the EU Taxonomy and says it is “actively involved in working groups at national and European levels,” suggesting some engagement, yet it does not identify any specific bills, regulations or consultations it has tried to influence. The description of its methods is similarly sparse: participation in unspecified “working groups” and “initiatives of task forces” is mentioned, but there is no detail on whether this involves meetings, written submissions, or other forms of outreach, nor are the governmental bodies or individual policymakers it approaches named. Finally, the bank sets internal ambitions, such as increasing the share of green finance, but it does not articulate any external policy changes it seeks to advance through lobbying. Overall, the disclosure leaves the actual focus, methods and objectives of its climate lobbying largely unclear.	1

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
None	Banca Transilvania has established detailed internal governance for its sustainability strategy—its “Board of Directors approves the Bank’s Sustainability Strategy and monitors its further implementation” and “ESG supervision responsibilities have been allocated to the Chairman of the Risk Management Committee,” and since 2022, “the ESG and Investors Relations (IR) division has been assigned responsibilities focusing on the integration of ESG factors into the company's strategy”—but we found no evidence that the bank discloses any policies, procedures, or oversight structures specifically governing its lobbying or political engagement activities, neither for direct advocacy nor through trade associations, nor any assignment of responsibility for reviewing or aligning lobbying with climate or sustainability objectives. This indicates the bank’s ESG governance framework does not address the management, monitoring, or accountability of its lobbying efforts.	0
