Direct Lobbying Transparency

| Comprehensive | PhosAgro provides detailed and specific information on every facet of its climate-policy lobbying. It names multiple concrete measures it has engaged on, including the federal draft law On Limiting Greenhouse Gas Emissions, the regulatory framework for the Vologda Oblast Carbon Disposal Site, the national Clean Air project under the Ecology programme and work to overhaul Russia’s greenhouse-gas accounting methodology in line with international standards. The company also explains how it tries to influence these measures, citing participation in parliamentary and ministerial discussions, “interaction with the Vologda Oblast government and the Russian Academy of Sciences,” public hearings, a four-party cooperation agreement with federal and regional authorities, and indirect engagement through UN Global Compact platforms such as the Water Sustainability Coalition and Climate Goals. Finally, it is explicit about what it wants to achieve: it supports adoption of the draft federal law to curb emissions, seeks alignment of Russia’s GHG calculation rules with global best practice to avoid double reporting, advocates appropriate timing for carbon pricing, and promotes low-carbon agricultural and forestry practices to enhance carbon sequestration. This level of specificity about the policies addressed, the channels used and the outcomes pursued demonstrates a high degree of transparency in the company’s climate-related lobbying disclosures. | 4 |
