Direct Lobbying Transparency

| Moderate | Saab AB provides a moderate level of transparency on its climate-related lobbying. It identifies the broad policy area it tries to shape—digital sustainability requirements in Swedish public procurement and related “climate-related targets” overseen by the Ministry of Enterprise and Innovation—but it does not name any specific bill, regulation or formal consultation. The company does, however, describe how it seeks to exert influence: through its subsidiary Combitech it sits on the steering group of “Digitaliseringskonsulterna,” participates in an IT-industry cooperation project, and prepares regulation letters to state authorities, all aimed at the Ministry of Enterprise and Innovation. Beyond this indirect route, Saab also notes that it has “developed networks with NATO structures and agencies” and “participated in governmental councils,” giving a second concrete example of mechanism and target. The desired outcomes are articulated with reasonable clarity: the group wants to “set new standards and regulations in digital sustainability,” including “suggesting increased requirements when it comes to public procurement” and broadening policymakers’ understanding of how digitalisation can cut emissions, actions it links to Sweden’s goal of becoming fossil-free by 2045. While these disclosures demonstrate intent and some detail, the absence of references to specific named legislation or multiple distinct lobbying channels limits the overall depth of transparency. | 2 |
