Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Hochschild Mining offers only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying activities. The company says it "play[s] an active role in various industry associations and professional forums" such as SNMPE in Peru, CAEM in Argentina and CNI in Brazil, indicating it uses membership of trade associations as an indirect channel for engagement, but it does not explain whether it also sends letters, meets officials or participates in consultations, nor does it identify which governmental bodies are approached. While it references discussions aimed at “enhancing regulations in mining and environmental sectors,” it does not name any specific climate or environmental laws, bills or regulatory proposals it has attempted to influence, so readers cannot determine the precise policies at issue. Likewise, the company speaks only of a broad goal to “shape and approve new initiatives” without clarifying the concrete outcomes it supports or opposes. Overall, the disclosures reveal that some engagement occurs but stop short of providing the details necessary to understand what policies are being lobbied, how influence is exerted, and what policy changes the company seeks.
