Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	AT&S discloses only limited information on how it governs its lobbying and other external engagement activities. The company states that it "strives to improve the use resources and increase efficiency" and that its energy strategy is designed to "meet the targets of the Paris Climate Agreement," and it 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 this declaration indicates an intention to align external advocacy with Paris-aligned climate goals, the disclosure offers no further detail on how such alignment is monitored or enforced: the excerpt lists operational energy targets but does not identify any internal processes, review mechanisms, or responsible bodies that oversee lobbying or trade-association engagement. We found no evidence of a formal governance structure, a named individual or committee with oversight, or any description of how the company assesses or acts on misalignment between its direct or indirect lobbying and its climate commitments, suggesting only a high-level pledge rather than a structured governance framework.

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	AT&S provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. It states that it engages the federal government on broad themes such as sustainable energy transition, grid management, and the goal of achieving 100 % green power generation by 2030, which makes clear that the company is active on climate mitigation issues but does not name any specific laws, regulations, or bills. The disclosure identifies the policymaking target in general terms (the federal government) but gives no detail on the methods used—such as whether it hosts meetings, submits consultation responses, or works through industry associations. Likewise, it communicates a general intention to support decarbonisation and secure energy supply without spelling out the concrete policy changes or measurable outcomes it is advocating. Because the company stops short of detailing the particular policies, lobbying channels, or precise objectives, its transparency on climate lobbying remains minimal.	D
