Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Ansell Ltd provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. It names one concrete engagement – participation in USAID’s Sri Lanka Energy Program to help establish “an electricity marketplace” that would expand industrial access to renewable power – but does not list any other climate laws or regulations it has attempted to influence. Beyond a general commitment to “Engage with and support…policy changes which will support the achievement of Ansell’s environmental sustainability goals and commitments,” no further policies are identified. The description of mechanisms is similarly sparse: the company notes that an employee “lobbies internationally as Chair of the Belgian PPE federation called Febelsafe and President of the European Safety Federation,” and that it has “partnered for policy advocacy,” yet only the Sri Lankan initiative clearly links a method (direct engagement through the USAID programme) with a definable government target (Sri Lankan policymakers). On intended outcomes, Ansell explains that its Sri Lankan lobbying seeks to create a renewable-energy marketplace, but for other jurisdictions it offers only broad aspirations such as achieving its “science-based Net Zero by 2040” goal without specifying what legislative or regulatory changes it wishes to see. Overall, the disclosures reveal some activity but lack the detail needed to demonstrate a transparent, systematic approach to climate-policy lobbying.	1

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Ansell Ltd’s disclosures provide only a broad public commitment to align its policy engagement with climate objectives, stating it has a “public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” which indicates a promise to align lobbying with climate goals. We found no evidence of any defined review or monitoring procedure, no announcement of board or executive oversight of lobbying activities, and no description of how it governs or aligns either its direct lobbying efforts or its indirect lobbying through industry associations with its Paris-aligned position.	1
