Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Strong	Hero MotoCorp provides a high level of transparency on the substance of its climate-related lobbying. It names a range of concrete policy files it has engaged on, including the “Release of final notification to notify E20 for type approval requirement,” the “Standardisation & deferment of CAFE norms for 2 Wheelers,” the draft rule on “L25 category (2-3 Combi-vehicle),” and other standards such as the wheel-rim quality control order, clearly identifying each regulation and supplying the relevant government notification links. The company also explains the channels it uses, citing “Direct communication through SIAM” and “Direct communication through BIS, SAE & USA,” and points to specific counterparts such as BIS, SIAM and the Ministries issuing the referenced notifications, although it offers fewer details on the precise form of those interactions. Crucially, it spells out the results it is pursuing, for example seeking the “Exemption of cross country bikes from Saree guard requirement,” advocating the “Adoption of National Standard for AC-DC Combined Charging – Connector & EVSE by BIS,” and supporting E20 fuel approval and changes to CAFE timelines. By disclosing multiple named policies, identifying its principal government and standards-setting targets, and articulating the concrete regulatory changes it wants to secure, the company demonstrates strong—though not exhaustive—clarity about its climate-policy lobbying activities.	3

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
None	Hero MotoCorp does not disclose any governance process for lobbying, including climate-related lobbying. While the evidence indicates that “The Audit and Assurance function reassures the Board about the adequacy and efficacy of internal controls” and that “The Core Sustainability Team (CST) formulates the strategies and roadmap for effective implementation,” these disclosures relate to internal controls and sustainability management rather than political or lobbying activities. The company does not disclose any policy, oversight committee, monitoring procedure, or accountability measures specific to its direct or indirect lobbying efforts, nor is there any reference to a named individual or body responsible for aligning lobbying with its sustainability or climate objectives. We found no evidence of any process to assess or align the company’s lobbying with its sustainability or climate goals.	0
