Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	D’Amico International Shipping SA discloses a limited governance framework for lobbying through its Anti-corruption Policy, which stipulates that "lobbying activities that must be based on criteria of legitimacy, fairness and transparency" and indicates that "compliance with the Anti-corruption Policy is verified through various methods, including but not limited to, active monitoring of the expense reimbursement and gift tracking systems, internal and external audits, and self-assessment reports of potential violations." While this demonstrates that the company has formal rules and monitoring mechanisms in place to prevent corrupt lobbying practices, we found no evidence that it has processes to align lobbying with its climate or other policy objectives, nor does it name any individual or committee tasked with oversight of lobbying activities, and it does not address indirect lobbying through trade associations or industry bodies.

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	The company provides virtually no transparency around climate-related lobbying. Beyond noting its membership in industry bodies such as Confitarma and INTERTANKO, it gives no information on whether it engages policymakers directly or indirectly, the methods it might use, or the specific government bodies that could be targeted. Although it references the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and says, “We view these new reporting standards as an opportunity to define and communicate our sustainability strategy clearly and transparently,” it does not claim to have tried to influence that or any other piece of climate-related legislation. Likewise, the disclosures contain no statement of the policy changes or regulatory outcomes the company hopes to achieve. As a result, there is no evidence of identified policies lobbied, no description of lobbying mechanisms, and no articulation of desired policy outcomes.	E
