Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	Orbia Advance Corp reveals a moderate level of transparency on its climate-policy engagement. It lists a wide array of specific measures it follows or engages on, including the European Green Deal, the EU Emissions Trading System, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, Mexico’s state and federal carbon-pricing schemes, President Biden’s proposed U.S. carbon tax and the U.S. SEC’s draft climate-disclosure rules, showing it is willing to name the particular policies and jurisdictions where it is active. The company also acknowledges that it pursues its advocacy mainly through industry bodies such as the Global Forum for Advanced Climate Technologies, the European Plastic Pipes and Fittings Association and the Alliance for Responsible Atmospheric Policy, but it does not describe direct tools such as meetings, letters or consultation submissions, nor does it identify the government departments or officials that receive its input. Finally, Orbia states only broad aims—supporting low-GWP technologies, advancing circular-economy legislation and aligning with the Paris Agreement—without spelling out the specific amendments, targets or timelines it is seeking. As a result, while the policies under discussion are clearly enumerated, the mechanisms and concrete outcomes remain only partially disclosed.	2

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Orbia Advance Corp SAB de CV provides only a high-level commitment to ensure its engagement activities align with its climate objectives, stating that "we encourage engagement at business group level, when relevant, to advance our net-zero and related commitments" and confirming "Yes" when asked if it has a "public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement." While the company lists examples of its indirect lobbying through memberships—such as Koura’s participation in the Global FACT and Alliance for Responsible Atmospheric Policy, and Vestolit’s involvement with The Vinyl Institute—there is no disclosure of who oversees these efforts, no formal review or sign-off process described for either direct or indirect lobbying, and no criteria for monitoring or managing alliance alignment with its climate commitments.	1
