Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Richemont appears to integrate climate considerations into its broader ESG governance through dedicated bodies and commitments, yet it does not disclose any specific processes to govern its lobbying activities against its climate strategy. The company notes that “we conduct regular materiality assessment” and that its updated materiality matrix was approved by the CSR Committee and shared with the Board’s Governance and Sustainability Committee, which “acts as an advisory to the Board on ... the oversight and approval of proposals regarding CO2 targets, climate change and biodiversity.” Richemont also confirms a “public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.” However, beyond these overarching structures and commitments, there is no description of any review, sign-off or monitoring procedure for direct lobbying, nor any criteria or oversight mechanism—either in‐house or via trade associations such as the Federation Horlogère (FH), Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) or International Crocodilian Farmers Association (ICFA)—to ensure that its indirect lobbying aligns with its climate change objectives.
