Limited | TCL Electronics provides some concrete detail about its climate-related policy engagement by naming two specific Chinese laws—the Cleaner Production Promotion Law and the Product Quality Law—and framing these within its advocacy for a national Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme. It also states the outcome it hopes to achieve, saying it seeks to “implement the system” and that it “supports [the policy] with no exceptions” because it aligns with the Paris Agreement, showing clear disclosure of its policy position and desired result. However, beyond a general reference to “engagement with policymakers,” the company does not reveal how it lobbies (e.g., meetings, letters, consultations) or which government bodies or officials it targets, leaving the methods and interlocutors entirely opaque. As a result, while the policies and objectives are spelled out, the underlying lobbying mechanisms remain undisclosed, limiting the overall transparency of its climate-policy lobbying activities. | 1 |
