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
Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Comment Score
Limited Ambev SA reports that it has a "public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement", indicating an intention to align its advocacy with climate objectives. However, the company does not disclose any formal governance framework for lobbying, including oversight mechanisms, monitoring procedures, or processes to ensure alignment of its direct and indirect lobbying with its climate commitments. We found no evidence of a named individual or committee overseeing these activities or any review process to assess or adjust its lobby efforts or trade association memberships for consistency with the Paris Agreement goals. 1
