Direct Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Comment Score
Limited Chailease Holding provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. In its “Climate Policy Declaration” the company says it "aligns its policies and regulations with the goals of the Paris Agreement" and refers to “lobbying and participation in trade associations,” indicating that it does engage on climate policy but without naming any specific laws, regulations or jurisdictions, so readers cannot see which measures it tries to shape. The description of methods is similarly high-level: it notes that it lobbies through “participation in trade associations,” may “engage in negotiations” when policies are misaligned and has co-hosted events such as the “2023 Sustainability Trends Summit,” yet it does not identify the government bodies or officials it approaches or the concrete channels it uses beyond those broad references. Finally, the company states a broad objective of promoting “net-zero transformation and sustainable industrial practices” and of addressing misaligned policies by “negotiation or potentially canceling lobbying or memberships,” but it does not set out any specific legislative amendments, quantitative targets or other clearly defined outcomes it is seeking. Together, these disclosures show that while Chailease Holding acknowledges involvement in climate-policy advocacy, the transparency and detail provided on the policies addressed, the mechanisms employed and the outcomes sought remain minimal. 1
Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Comment Score
Moderate Chailease Holding has established a Climate Policy Declaration that frames its approach to influencing policy in line with the Paris Agreement, and it states that it “will use our influence to actively implement various environmental management and energy conservation policies through lobbying or participation in trade association,” supported by “a management system in place to align our policies and regulations related to sustainable finance with the goals of the Paris Agreement.” The company further commits that “if it is found that policies set by the government or trade association are not in line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement,” it “will clarify the problem in terms of practical difficulties we face and will actively negotiate and take action or consider canceling lobbying or terminating membership.” While these disclosures demonstrate a procedural framework for both direct lobbying and engagement through associations, we found no evidence of a named individual or formal body responsible for overseeing or reviewing this alignment process, which limits clarity around accountability for climate lobbying governance. 2
