Americanas SA discloses only a high-level commitment to align its external engagement with climate goals but provides little insight into how this is governed. The company states that “our environmental management is guided by the sum of synergies to increase the eco-efficiency of the operation” and confirms that it has “a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” while also noting it “monthly take part in the Climate Forum, an initiative of the Ethos Institute.” However, apart from naming the sustainability area as responsible for “the management and monitoring of environmental disclosures,” the evidence does not explain who oversees or approves lobbying positions, how direct or trade-association lobbying is reviewed for alignment, or whether any formal monitoring, escalation, or corrective actions exist. Because the company reports a Paris-aligned engagement commitment but does not disclose a governance structure, monitoring process, or responsible individual or board committee for lobbying alignment, the available information indicates only limited lobbying governance.

Americanas SA provides only limited detail on its climate-policy lobbying. It names one specific engagement, participation in the “Business Recommendations for the Brazilian NDC,” thereby confirming involvement with Brazil’s primary climate-change commitment, but it does not identify any other policy initiatives or affirm that this is its sole area of advocacy. The company outlines two lobbying avenues—monthly participation in the “Climate Forum and the Environment Working Group” run by the Ethos Institute and endorsement of the “2015 Open Letter to Brazil on Climate Change”—yet it does not indicate direct contact with government bodies or specify which policymakers these activities aim to influence. On objectives, it states that its participation was “fundamental for the discussion of corporate themes of efforts to reduce CO2 emissions” and signals general support for the Brazilian NDC and the Paris Agreement, but it offers no concrete legislative amendments, targets, or other measurable outcomes it seeks. As a result, while the disclosure shows some acknowledgment of climate-related lobbying, the depth and specificity of the information remain modest across all three dimensions.
