Direct Lobbying Transparency
| Overall Assessment | Comment | Score |

| Strong | Lazard demonstrates a strong level of transparency in its climate lobbying activities. It clearly outlines the mechanisms and targets it employs—submitting a formal letter to the US Department of Labor on Proposed Rule RIN 1210-AC03 and participating in a collaborative letter under the Global Investor Statement to Governments on the Climate Crisis—identifying specifically the US Department of Labor. It names the Proposed Rule RIN 1210-AC03 and the Global Investor Statement as the focus of its policy engagements and unambiguously articulates four distinct outcomes it seeks: mandatory climate risk disclosure, strengthened national commitments, ending fossil fuel subsidies, and phasing out thermal coal. This combination of detailed lobbying mechanisms, clearly identified policy engagements, and explicit policy end goals demonstrates a robust approach to transparency in its climate policy advocacy. | 3 |
