Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
None	BKW AG provides virtually no transparency on its climate-related lobbying. The statement only discusses internal strategic priorities such as developing "sustainable CO2-minimised options for future power supplies" and investigating "safer, further-developed 'post-Japan' nuclear power technologies," but it never identifies any specific climate or energy policies it has tried to influence, names no bills or regulations, and gives no indication that it engaged policymakers at all. Likewise, it discloses no lobbying mechanisms—there is no mention of meetings, letters, consultations, or the decision-makers that might have been approached. Because the company does not set out any concrete legislative or regulatory changes it seeks, its desired outcomes remain undefined. Overall, the disclosure offers no evidence of climate-policy lobbying activity or the company’s positions, leaving its external advocacy efforts completely opaque.	0

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
None	BKW AG’s disclosures focus on sustainability oversight, with the Board of Directors bearing “ultimate responsibility for BKW’s sustainability impacts, risks and opportunities and approves the sustainability-related goals and the annual sustainability report,” and the Group Executive Board tasked with “the development and implementation of sustainability-related goals” across business areas. The Sustainability Management office “coordinates BKW’s sustainability activities” as a CEO staff unit and supports Group-wide sustainability management. While these statements cover corporate sustainability governance, we found no evidence of specific processes, oversight structures, or accountability measures governing lobbying activities or alignment of direct or indirect lobbying with the company’s climate or policy positions.	0
