Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
None Orient Overseas International Ltd’s disclosures pertain exclusively to its Risk Committee’s oversight of general business risks, stating that “The Risk Committee delegates to the management … the design and setting of risk management parameters,” with regular reviews and internal audits of “risk management and internal control systems,” but the company does not disclose any policies, procedures, or oversight mechanisms specific to lobbying activities of any kind, whether direct or through trade associations, nor does it identify any individual or committee responsible for reviewing or aligning its lobbying with corporate or climate policy objectives. We found no evidence of a climate-focused lobbying review, a lobbying governance policy, or any mention of compliance with or management of lobbying beyond legal compliance with regulations.

Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
Limited Orient Overseas International Ltd provides only limited insight into its climate-policy lobbying. The company names two concrete regulatory frameworks it is monitoring—the International Maritime Organization’s 2023 regulations and the EU “Fit for 55” package—indicating awareness of specific climate rules that affect its operations. However, it does not describe any direct engagement with lawmakers or regulators on those measures. The only mechanism it references is participation in industry forums, such as that “OOCL participated in the EU Green Week Partner Event hosted by the WSC,” but it offers no information on how these forums are used to influence policy or which decision-makers are approached. Equally, while the report notes that “We are paying close attention to the impacts of these regulations on business operations” and that “OOCL is exploring various possible solutions to fulfill IMO 2023 requirements,” it never explains what changes, amendments or new measures it hopes to secure. As a result, stakeholders are left without clarity on the company’s lobbying methods, targets or desired policy outcomes, reflecting a low level of transparency overall.
