Direct Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Comment Score
Strong ICL Group provides a clear picture of its climate-policy engagement. It explicitly names the two Israeli initiatives it has worked on—the “Israeli voluntary GHG reporting mechanism” and the “Israeli PRTR reporting mechanism”—and describes how its input related to each, demonstrating solid transparency about the policies it lobbies. The company also describes how it lobbies, noting participation in “round table forums regarding the PRTR law” and submitting “experience-based opinions on the best way of implementing mandatory GHG reporting,” and it identifies its main interlocutor as the Israeli Ministry for the Protection of the Environment, so both the methods and the policymaking target are spelled out. Finally, it is explicit about what it wants to achieve: unifying “reporting methodologies and boundaries of GHG emissions,” reducing the reporting burden and confusion for stakeholders, supporting mandatory GHG reporting, and encouraging broader corporate participation to help meet national mitigation goals. Taken together, these disclosures show a strong level of transparency across all three dimensions—policies, mechanisms, and desired outcomes—though the company focuses on a limited set of domestic reporting policies. 3
Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Comment Score
Limited ICL Group Ltd discloses limited information regarding its lobbying governance processes, particularly in relation to climate-related lobbying. The company mentions that its Sustainability Manager, who reports to the COO, President, and CEO, is "highly involved with the various internal processes and board committees" and "is in contact with the various external organizations in regards to climate-related issues." This indicates some level of oversight and engagement in climate-related advocacy. Additionally, ICL states that it is "an actively involved member of a number of industry associations" and participates in "various task forces" to ensure compliance with responsible care and sustainability programs. However, the disclosures do not provide details on specific mechanisms, monitoring processes, or alignment strategies for lobbying activities, nor do they explicitly address how direct or indirect lobbying is managed to align with climate goals. The company does not disclose any formal governance framework, periodic reviews, or criteria for assessing its participation in industry associations, which limits the transparency and robustness of its lobbying governance. 1
