Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Inter Cars SA’s disclosures focus on sustainability governance structures, describing how “The Company’s Management Board is responsible for managing the Group’s sustainable development,” how an “ESG Team was established in 2021 to coordinate implementation of the sustainability strategy,” and how “a separate Environment and Climate Protection Team was appointed in 2022 to coordinate the development and implementation of environmental and climate-related objectives.” However, the company does not disclose any policy, process, or oversight mechanism specifically for lobbying activities, nor does it reference any alignment of its direct or indirect lobbying with its climate or ESG objectives.

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Inter Cars Group offers only limited insight into its climate-policy lobbying. The report notes that the company takes part in industry associations such as CLEPA and FIGIEFA and that it "participate[s] in discussions aimed at sharing experience and knowledge," but it provides no detail on which public bodies are approached or how those forums translate into efforts to influence legislation. It does not identify any specific climate-related laws or regulations that it has sought to shape—references to the European Green Deal and the Paris Agreement appear only as general context—and it gives no indication that the company actively lobbied on those initiatives. Likewise, while the company states that "climate neutrality is our ultimate objective" and that it is "striving to limit the negative impact on the environment," it does not spell out the concrete policy changes, amendments, or regulatory outcomes it wishes to see. Overall, the disclosure signals awareness of forthcoming climate regulation but stops short of transparent reporting on actual lobbying activities, mechanisms, or objectives.	D
