| Moderate | Liberty Energy Inc. provides a limited but concrete glimpse into its climate-related lobbying. The company identifies one specific policy engagement—the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s proposed rule, “The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors”—but does not cite any other climate policies, indicating only partial transparency on the breadth of its activity. It discloses two clear mechanisms aimed at influencing that rule: filing litigation and submitting formal regulatory comments, and it names the SEC as the target of both efforts, demonstrating a moderate level of detail about how and where it lobbies. The firm is also explicit about the result it seeks, stating that it opposes the rule because it “exceeds the SEC’s authority,” “places increased costs on the energy industry without clear benefit,” and “violates First Amendment rights,” thereby revealing both its policy position and the outcome it wants—preventing the rule from taking effect. However, the absence of disclosure on any other climate-policy engagements or additional lobbying tools keeps the overall transparency at a moderate level rather than comprehensive. | 2 |
