Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	CTT-Correios de Portugal SA provides extensive information about its climate targets and participation in initiatives but offers no details on how it governs or oversees its policy engagement activities. It states that "CTT endorsed the Road to Paris initiative in favor of a low-carbon economy" and highlights its commitment to "Responsible corporate engagement in climate policy," yet the company does not disclose any internal oversight structures, monitoring procedures, or accountability measures to ensure that its external engagement aligns with its climate commitments. The disclosure focuses on setting science-based targets, approved by the Science-Based Target Initiative, and reporting performance in an "Integrated Report," but it provides no insight into who is responsible for reviewing lobbying activities, what processes are followed to align direct or indirect advocacy, or how any trade associations are managed when their positions conflict with CTT’s climate objectives. Consequently, there is no information on board or executive oversight of lobbying alignment or any described process for managing policy-influencing activities to support a low-carbon transition.

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	CTT-Correios de Portugal offers only limited transparency about its climate-policy advocacy. The company notes that it participates in collective initiatives such as the UN Global Compact’s “Business Ambition for 1.5 °C” campaign and the “Road to Paris” effort that preceded COP21, signalling an intention to influence global climate discussions, yet it does not name any specific national or regional laws, regulations or rulemakings it has tried to shape. Descriptions of its methods are similarly high-level: it refers to engaging peers and policymakers through conferences, events and industry-group meetings, but it does not disclose whether it sends letters, holds bilateral meetings or submits consultation responses, nor does it identify the government bodies or officials targeted. The outcomes it seeks are expressed only in broad terms—supporting a “strong agreement” at COP21, aligning with the Paris Agreement and helping to limit warming to 1.5 °C—without spelling out concrete policy changes, amendments or quantitative goals. As a result, while CTT acknowledges some involvement in climate discussions, its public disclosures provide minimal detail on the specific policies, mechanisms or outcomes of its lobbying activities.
