Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Alamo Group offers almost no transparency on its climate-related lobbying activities. Beyond noting that it participates in the EPA’s SmartWay program and belongs to business associations such as the Association of Equipment Manufacturers and the National Association of Manufacturers, the company does not identify any specific climate policies, legislation, or regulations it seeks to influence, describes no concrete lobbying methods or policymaking targets, and discloses no clear policy outcomes it is pursuing. As a result, its disclosures do not allow readers to understand whether, how, or why the company attempts to shape climate policy.	E
