Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Blue Star Ltd provides only limited insight into its climate-policy lobbying. It refers to working on broad initiatives such as the India Cooling Action Plan, Energy Labelling, E-waste, Circular Economy, Green Buildings, Decarbonisation and LiFE, which signals some engagement with climate policy areas, but it does not spell out the specific bills, regulations or rulemakings it has tried to influence or give enough detail to uniquely identify them. The company simply notes its “participation in industry programs and initiatives” without describing how it engages—no letters, meetings, consultation submissions or use of trade associations are disclosed, and no policymaking targets are named. Likewise, while the company links these activities to a general ambition of “preparing for its Net Zero Mission” and supporting broader decarbonisation goals, it does not articulate the concrete legislative or regulatory changes it is advocating for. Because the disclosures lack detail on the mechanisms of influence and on the precise outcomes sought, transparency around its climate lobbying remains minimal.	D
