Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Moderate	Mersen SA discloses that “the Group CSR committee reviews and approves each year the engagement policy into trade associations or any other funding related to the climate change,” which shows a formal body providing annual oversight of its indirect lobbying activities in support of its climate strategy. However, we found no evidence of any analogous governance mechanism for its direct lobbying, and the company acknowledges that “No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years” when asked about a public commitment to conduct its engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement. There is no further detail on procedures for monitoring or managing lobbying alignment beyond this annual review, no named individual responsible for lobbying governance, and no publicly available audit or report assessing the alignment of its climate-related lobbying efforts.
