Direct Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Comment Score
Comprehensive Enel Generacion Chile SA provides a highly detailed picture of its climate-policy lobbying. It identifies the exact measures it engages on, including the Framework Law on Climate Change, the National Green Hydrogen Strategy and the Long-Term Energy Planning process, each described with their respective goals and timelines. The company also explains how it engages: it runs participatory workshops, roundtables and validation meetings, commissions and shares technical studies and scenario modelling, and makes direct submissions, targeting clearly named bodies such as the Chilean Ministry of Energy, the Chilean Energy Commission and the National Energy Coordinator. Finally, Enel Generacion Chile sets out concrete policy outcomes it is seeking—phasing out coal-fired generation by 2040, raising the green tax to US$70 per ton by 2050, building 20 GW of renewable capacity by 2030, developing national green-hydrogen infrastructure and fully decarbonising the power sector by 2050—demonstrating clear positions and measurable objectives for each area of advocacy. Together, this level of specificity across the policies addressed, the mechanisms used and the outcomes sought represents comprehensive transparency on the company’s climate-related lobbying activities. 4
Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Comment Score
Comprehensive Enel Generacion Chile SA demonstrates a comprehensive governance framework for climate lobbying, ensuring alignment with its climate-related goals and the Paris Agreement. The company has disclosed a detailed process for monitoring and reviewing its lobbying activities, both direct and indirect, to ensure consistency with its climate strategy. For instance, it conducts an "annual review and monitoring process of its association affiliations to assess their alignment with the Company’s stated positions," and has established a framework to address discrepancies, including public statements and escalation processes that may lead to withdrawal from partnerships. Enel Chile also systematically verifies the consistency of associations' positions with its climate policies, both before joining and through active participation and leadership roles within these associations. Furthermore, the company has implemented "mandatory internal procedures and manuals for all members, representatives, or contractors designed to improve the transparency and traceability of interactions with public officials or members of public institutions." Oversight is robust, with the Board of Directors and the Committee of Directors playing key roles in evaluating and approving climate-related strategies and ensuring alignment with sustainability goals. The governance framework also includes specific responsibilities assigned to senior management, such as the CEO and the General Manager, who oversee the implementation of the company’s sustainable business model and climate advocacy activities. Enel Chile’s commitment to transparency is further evidenced by its development of platforms for managing memberships and associations, as well as its systematic approach to documenting and controlling interactions with authorities. This indicates a strong governance process that encompasses direct and indirect lobbying activities, with clear monitoring mechanisms, accountability structures, and alignment with climate goals. 4
