Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Tata Consultancy Services provides only high-level assertions that its “public engagements are in alignment with this target enabling us amplify our contribution to the worldwide collective effort to mitigate climate change” and that “our external engagement activities are consistent with your climate commitments and/or climate transition plan,” indicating an intention to align advocacy with its net-zero and Science Based Targets commitments. However, beyond these statements of intent, we found no evidence describing who is responsible for monitoring or approving lobbying positions, no explanation of how direct or trade-association lobbying is reviewed, and no disclosure of any formal oversight body, audit, or corrective process. Consequently, while the company does reference a commitment to align its external engagement with its climate strategy, the disclosure lacks detail on governance mechanisms, monitoring procedures, or accountable parties that would demonstrate a structured lobbying-governance framework.

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Tata Consultancy Services offers virtually no transparency on its climate-related lobbying. Its disclosures merely describe broad policy contexts such as the EU Green Deal, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive without indicating that the company tried to influence these or any other measures. There is no description of direct or indirect lobbying methods, no identification of policymaker targets, and no explanation of the concrete policy changes, amendments, or positions the company seeks. In short, the available information does not evidence any climate policy lobbying activity or the company’s objectives, leaving its lobbying practices entirely opaque.	E
