Climate Policy Engagement Analysis

Climate Policy Engagement Overview: Brazil Steel Institute (IABr) exhibits limited engagement on climate policy, and holds both positive and negative positions on climate policy and the energy transition

Top-line Messaging on Climate Policy: IABr’s top-line messaging on climate policy was broadly positive in 2023-2025. In its institutional website, accessed in June 2025, the association stated support for climate change policy, including carbon pricing and circular economy regulation. The association also appeared to support the steel-sector target to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, in a January 2025 article published by Estadão.

Engagement with Climate-Related Policies: IABr had both positive and negative positions on climate policies. In June 2023, the association participated in the industry's proposal for the regulated carbon market. IABr also supported a regulated carbon market in its institutional website, accessed in June 2025. However, in a article published by CNN in December 2024, the entity emphasized concerns around economic feasibility of Brazil's Emissions Trading System. IABr also appeared unsupportive of anti-deforestation policy by appearing to assert the targets are too ambitious in a May 2025 public consultation.

Positioning on Energy Transition: IABr held both positive and negative positions on energy transition. In a May 2024 contribution to Public consultation on the National Mitigation Plan, the entity supported the need for investments to finance the energy transition and zero carbon technology. However, IABr supported an extended role for fossil gas in the energy mix in a May 2024 contribution to a public consultation on the energy transition, and again in another public consultation in May 2025, on the National Mitigation Plan.

InfluenceMap collects and assesses evidence of corporate climate policy engagement on a regular basis, depending on the availability of information from each specific data source (for more information see our methodology). Due to the limited engagement detected by InfluenceMap on climate policy from this entity, the analysis informing the entity's scores and summary is updated periodically. This assessment was last updated in Q3 2025.
