Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Dabur India discloses a public commitment to align its engagement with climate objectives, stating “Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement? […] Yes” and indicating that “We approach our engagements with the Government agencies and departments in a transparent and ethical manner and require our third-parties to do the same.” However, the company does not disclose any internal mechanisms, oversight structures, or sign-off procedures for its lobbying activities, either direct or through trade associations. While Dabur lists membership in a range of industry bodies such as “Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) … and Waste Efficient Collection and Recycling Efforts (WECARE)” and notes it “advocate[s] on matters that are crucial to our company and the industry,” there is no evidence of a process to monitor or align these engagements with its climate policy, nor does it name an individual or committee responsible for lobbying oversight. This indicates limited governance of its public policy and advocacy activities. View Sources	D

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Dabur India Ltd gives only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. The company says it works "through trade and industry associations, such as CII, FICCI, and others" and refers to participating in association "forums and task forces," indicating an indirect mechanism but without naming any specific government departments, individual policymakers, or the form of engagement, such as meetings or submissions. On the substance of what it lobbies, Dabur does not identify any particular climate or energy policy; instead it lists broad themes like "Water Conservation & Management," "Biodiversity Protection," and "Plastic Waste Management," while also stating that it has "not been lobbying on any specific issue." Correspondingly, the disclosure offers no concrete description of the regulatory changes or targets it seeks, beyond a general intention to contribute to policy development on these sustainability topics. This high-level narrative provides some acknowledgement of engagement but lacks the detail needed to understand which climate policies are addressed, how the company seeks to influence them, and what outcomes it is pursuing.
