Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Strong	TCC Group discloses a clearly structured process for governing both its direct engagement with policymakers and its indirect lobbying through trade and sustainability associations, with an explicit focus on climate alignment. The company states it has "instituted a management mechanism for coalition engagement activities and industry associations" that "ensures that the Company’s participation aligns with the Paris Agreement," indicating a formal policy objective. Oversight is embedded in senior-level structures: engagement topics are vetted at "regular vice presidents' meetings chaired by the chairperson to ensure that the contents discussed must comply with the Company's sustainability and climate-related policies and net zero emission targets," and results are "regularly reported to the Corporate Sustainable Development Committee," demonstrating a named body responsible for review. Monitoring details are also provided, as the company "conducts reviews, tracking, and assessments of climate-related engagement activities and participation in industry associations," and commits to public disclosure of "important climate-related meetings and the results of association participation" in its sustainability report or on its website. Importantly, TCC outlines an escalation pathway for misalignment with indirect lobbying partners: "If the policy stance of a participating public association regarding climate change differs from that of the TCC Group, the Company will communicate our position... [and] shall consider withdrawing from the association." While the disclosure sets out governance, oversight, and corrective measures, we found no evidence of an externally published climate-lobbying alignment audit, so the transparency stops short of a full independent review. Overall, this indicates strong governance of both direct and indirect climate-related lobbying, backed by senior oversight and a defined monitoring and corrective process, but not yet a comprehensive public audit.

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	TCC Group Holdings offers only limited insight into its climate-policy lobbying. The company notes that it engages through industry bodies such as the Global Cement and Concrete Association and the Taiwan Cement Manufacturers’ Association, and that it sometimes submits “opinions and reports” to government departments or the Legislative Council of Hong Kong, but it does not describe the frequency or content of those contacts, nor does it identify other specific decision-makers it targets. Its public statements reference broad policy areas—climate change, circular economy, biodiversity and alignment with the Paris Agreement—yet they do not name any particular law, regulation or governmental proposal it has sought to influence. Similarly, while the company voices aspirations such as achieving carbon-neutral concrete by 2050 and lowering emissions intensity by 2025, it does not link these goals to concrete legislative changes or measurable policy amendments it is advocating. As a result, the disclosure communicates general intent and participation but leaves most of the practical details of its lobbying activities and objectives unspecified.	D
