Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	Zignago Vetro is reasonably forthcoming about its climate-policy lobbying. It names two specific initiatives it works on—the EU Emissions Trading System and the implementation of Italy’s Decree 152/06 governing plant environmental management—thereby making clear which regulations it seeks to influence. The company also explains several routes of engagement, stating that it participates in trade-association “public discussion mechanisms,” that “position papers are being developed to support the proposed changes in the legislation,” that “Group representatives attend these meetings and contribute to the drafting of the paper,” and that it maintains “continuous interaction” with identified authorities, including ARPA, regional governments and the Italian Ministry for the Environment. This level of detail reveals both the mechanisms and the specific institutional targets of its lobbying. Where transparency is weaker is on the results it wants to secure: the company speaks only of improving the ETS and achieving “balanced authorization requirements,” observing that “discussions are ongoing to assess possible improvements,” but it does not spell out the precise amendments, targets or timelines it is advocating. Overall, the disclosures provide clear information on policies and channels of influence, while offering only a broad picture of the outcomes sought.	2

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Zignago Vetro provides only a brief indication that it tries to keep its policy engagement aligned with its climate approach, stating it has "process(es) … to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy" and that "a public commitment or position statement to conduct engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement will be developed in the future." The company also notes it "participates in association meetings with FeVe, Assovetro, GAE … where policy scenarios (energy, climate, ETS, CBAM) are discussed" and maintains "a direct relationship with national and local institutions" on environmental regulation. However, the disclosure does not specify any concrete monitoring or review mechanism, name the individual or committee responsible for oversight, or explain how it assesses alignment of either its direct lobbying or its involvement in trade associations. This indicates only a limited acknowledgement of the need for alignment without describing a formal governance framework.	1
