Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd discloses a broad statement on “responsible advocacy” that applies when it “engaged in influencing public and regulatory policy,” noting that the company will “make reasonable efforts to ensure that its advocacy positions are consistent with the principles and core elements enhancing business responsibility and transparency” and may do so “either directly or through various association / forums / chambers.” This indicates a basic intention to align both direct and indirect lobbying with its stated values, but the disclosure stops at high-level commitments; it does not specify how such alignment is monitored, who signs off on positions, or whether climate-related issues receive dedicated scrutiny. Although the company lists objectives such as “focus on transparency, accountability, justice, equity, and good conscience while conducting business operations” and commits to “adhere with the domestic laws of the land and international obligations,” we found no evidence of a formal governance structure, named individual, board committee, or periodic review overseeing lobbying activities, nor any mention of trade-association assessments, escalation processes, or climate-specific alignment criteria. Consequently, the disclosure reflects only an overarching policy aspiration rather than a defined governance process for lobbying alignment. View Sources	D

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd offers only a high-level acknowledgement that it may engage with decision-making authorities on public policy matters, noting that such engagement could occur “directly or through associations, forums, or chambers.” Beyond this generic description, the company does not identify any climate-related laws, regulations, or initiatives it has sought to influence, does not name the governmental bodies or other targets it approaches, and does not describe the specific outcomes it is pursuing. As a result, its disclosures provide virtually no transparency into the substance, methods, or objectives of its climate policy lobbying activities.	E
