Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Arca Continental SAB de CV provides virtually no transparency around its climate-related lobbying activities, offering only references to its membership in industry associations without any further detail. The company mentions its participation in ANPRAC, ASCOCA, CONCAMIN, and its founding partnership in ECOCE, but does not identify any specific climate policies, laws, or regulations it has sought to influence. It similarly omits details on how it engages these groups – for example, it does not describe meetings, submissions, or other lobbying mechanisms, nor does it name any policymakers or governmental bodies as targets of its engagement. Finally, Arca Continental does not set out any desired policy outcomes or explain what legislative changes it supports or opposes. Overall, the disclosure does not provide any substantive information about the company’s climate-policy lobbying activities.	E
