Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
Limited Tencent Holdings Ltd reports a “public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” yet we found no evidence of any formal governance process, oversight body, or monitoring mechanism for its lobbying or policy-influencing activities. The company does not disclose how it aligns its direct or indirect lobbying with its climate policy, no specific individual or committee is named to review or approve engagement plans, and there is no description of processes for assessing or managing the consistency of its advocacy with its Paris Agreement commitment, indicating limited transparency and accountability in its lobbying governance.

Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
Limited Tencent provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. The company refers to having engaged with one identifiable national initiative, “《公民生态环境行为规范十条》,” and cites the submission of a report during China’s Two Sessions, but it does not list any other specific laws or regulations it tries to influence. It mentions indirect mechanisms such as submitting reports, co-hosting workshops and supporting an activity organised by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, yet no details are given about direct meetings, letters or the specific government bodies or legislators targeted. Similarly, the disclosures speak in very general terms about advancing carbon neutrality and promoting low-carbon technologies, without spelling out concrete policy changes, amendments or targets Tencent seeks to achieve. Taken together, the disclosures show some acknowledgement of policy engagement but fall short of a clear, detailed account of the policies addressed, the methods used, and the outcomes pursued.
