Lobbying Governance
| Overall Assessment | Analysis | Score |

| Moderate |
Tele2 AB demonstrates a moderate level of governance in its lobbying activities, particularly in relation to climate change. The company states that it is "committed to respond appropriately in cases where the position on climate change of our membership associations is significantly weaker than Tele2’s position or contradicts our climate change efforts," indicating an awareness of the need for alignment between its climate strategy and indirect lobbying through trade associations. Tele2 also outlines its engagement with the GSMA, noting that it ensures alignment with the trade association's approach through "regular meetings and communication with representatives from the GSMA, as well as through participating in the working groups of the GSMA." However, while these statements suggest some mechanisms for monitoring indirect lobbying, there is no explicit evidence of a detailed process for reviewing or managing lobbying alignment, nor is there a specific individual or committee disclosed as responsible for overseeing lobbying governance. The company's broader sustainability governance framework, including roles such as the Head of Sustainability and the Group Leadership Team, is well-defined, but it does not explicitly address lobbying governance. Additionally, while Tele2 has a public commitment to align its engagement activities with the goals of the Paris Agreement, the evidence does not provide details on how direct lobbying activities are managed or aligned with its climate strategy. This indicates that while some steps are taken to align indirect lobbying, the governance framework lacks comprehensive monitoring and oversight mechanisms for both direct and indirect lobbying activities.
