Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Moderate	SCG Packaging PCL demonstrates a moderate level of governance in its climate lobbying processes, with some evidence of alignment mechanisms and oversight structures. The company states that "SCGP works collaboratively with all sectors including governments, businesses, and society" and emphasizes that its representatives at "C-level, Director, and Management level" are involved in climate-related agencies to align policies and strategies with the Paris Agreement. Additionally, the company mentions that "The Global Standard on Responsible Climate Lobbying is a new challenge for SCGP to consider and implement its’ indicators," indicating an awareness of the need for structured lobbying governance. Oversight is provided by multiple committees, including the ESG Committee and the Energy and Climate Change Committee, with the Chief Executive Officer serving as the Committee Chairman. However, while the company commits to "climate change lobbying" and references its Environmental and Climate Change Management Policy, there is no detailed description of a specific process for monitoring or managing lobbying alignment, nor evidence of a comprehensive review or audit of its lobbying activities. Furthermore, while SCGP mentions its participation in associations to support public policy aligned with climate goals, it does not disclose specific actions taken to ensure alignment of indirect lobbying through these associations. This indicates some governance measures are in place, but the disclosures lack the depth and specificity required for a stronger assessment. View Sources	C

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Comprehensive	SCG Packaging Public Company Limited demonstrates a high level of transparency around its climate-related lobbying activities. It identifies the specific policies it has engaged on, including the Thailand Climate Act drafted by the Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Planning, Thailand’s carbon tax policy, and the Carbon Footprint of Products program under the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization. SCGP outlines its lobbying mechanisms in detail—participating in public hearings, responding to government consultations, meeting policymakers at TGO and ONEP, and collaborating with organizations such as the Thailand Carbon Neutral Network, Global Compact Network Thailand, and the Sustainable Packaging Coalition. Finally, SCGP clearly articulates the outcomes it seeks through these engagements, such as achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, reducing emissions by 20% by 2030 against a 2020 baseline, supporting Thailand’s nationally determined contribution under the Paris Agreement, promoting the development of a carbon offset market, and advancing renewable energy, energy efficiency, and circular economy initiatives while emphasizing the need to balance greenhouse gas reduction with maintaining national competitiveness.
