Direct Lobbying Transparency

| Moderate | Natura &Co provides a reasonable picture of what it wants governments to do on climate, but far less clarity about which formal policy instruments it has tried to influence or how it engages decision-makers. The company lays out a suite of concrete objectives – it urges governments to "commit to achieving a just transition to economy-wide net-zero emissions by 2050 at the latest," to "strengthen their NDCs and 2030 targets in line with a 1.5ºC trajectory," to "end internal combustion engine sales by 2030," to establish "a multilateral mechanism for carbon pricing," and to secure "zero deforestation in the Amazon" – making its desired policy outcomes explicit. However, most of these references relate to broad international or national goals rather than to named legislation or regulatory proposals, so the underlying policies being lobbied remain largely generic. On mechanisms, the only clearly identified action is the company’s role in the 2015 “Open Letter to Brazil on Climate Change,” which put proposals to the Brazilian Government; other statements speak of “urging governments” or working through platforms such as CT Clima and COP business coalitions without specifying whether this involves meetings, submissions or other formal channels, nor do they identify the individual agencies or officials contacted. Overall, Natura &Co is open about the outcomes it seeks but less transparent about the precise policies it targets and the methods it uses to influence them. | 2 |
