Direct Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment | Comment | Score |
---|---|---|
Moderate | Ambev SA provides clear disclosure of its climate policy engagements, naming specific initiatives such as “Brazilian ETS/ carbon markets” and “Plastic/ PET/ Glass Returnability/ Reverse Logistics” with national coverage in Brazil. It outlines its approach to influencing these areas by describing “technical analysis, group proposals for the industry, lobbying at relevant climate/carbon negotiation events both nationally and internationally” and participation in “Working Groups and forums to discuss, propose and work together for adaptation, mitigation, carbon markets, circular economy, renewable energy, reverse logistics, traceability, and improved reporting,” though it does not specify the individual events or governmental bodies targeted. The company also articulates the outcomes it is seeking—advancing adaptation, mitigation, carbon markets, circular economy, renewable energy, reverse logistics, traceability, and improved reporting—and confirms that its advocacy is aligned with the Paris Agreement (“Yes, we have evaluated, and it is aligned”). Overall, this level of detail demonstrates a moderate degree of transparency around Ambev’s climate lobbying activities. | 2 |
