Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Comprehensive	Telecom Italia SpA/Milano demonstrates a comprehensive level of transparency in disclosing its climate lobbying activities. The company explicitly identifies specific climate policies it has engaged with, including the EU Green Deal, the Fit for 55 package, the Energy Efficiency Directive, the Taxonomy Regulation, and Italy's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). These disclosures provide sufficient detail to identify the policies and legislative proposals involved. The company also provides detailed information about its lobbying mechanisms and targets, such as direct engagement with national and EU policymakers, participation in trade associations like ETNO and GSMA, and interactions with various governmental and regulatory bodies in Italy, the EU, and Brazil. It describes its activities, including parliamentary hearings, public consultations, and workshops, as well as proposing amendments to individual measures. Furthermore, Telecom Italia is transparent about the specific outcomes it seeks, such as the adoption of energy-efficient solutions, deployment of advanced telecommunications networks, and inclusion of the ICT sector in environmental protection and energy guidelines. It also aims to influence legislative proposals under the Fit for 55 package to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 and a 55% reduction in emissions by 2030. These disclosures illustrate the company's clear intent to shape specific policy outcomes and its rationale for doing so, demonstrating a high level of transparency in its climate lobbying efforts.	4

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Strong	Telecom Italia Group discloses that "actions aimed at policy makers, at both national and international level, are under the responsibility of the Public and Regulatory Affairs Depts and are developed in close cooperation with the executive managers of the areas involved, such as the Head of Sustainability and the Head of Real Estate," indicating a structured approach to coordinating lobbying efforts with its climate change strategy. The company also states that "the coordination of public positions is guaranteed by the internal Public Affairs, Regulatory Affairs, and Institutional Communication Departments," suggesting that there is dedicated oversight of external engagements, including trade associations such as Confindustria, ETNO, GSMA, and GeSI. While this demonstrates clear responsible parties and a management process to align lobbying activities with climate objectives, the evidence does not describe a fully detailed monitoring or enforcement mechanism, but overall this indicates strong governance by Telecom Italia Group.	3
