Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Moderate	Bekaert SA has established a mechanism to “monitor climate-related policy developments and react accordingly indirectly through relevant business groups & NGOs, aiming for the best outcome for Bekaert in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement (including science-based targets),” which provides at least one concrete process for aligning its indirect engagement with its climate strategy. However, the company does not disclose any named individual or formal body overseeing or reviewing these activities, nor does it detail a structured review or sign-off procedure for its direct lobbying or its participation in trade associations. We found no evidence of a defined policy that sets out oversight, a routine audit or third-party review of climate lobbying, or specific governance of direct advocacy, suggesting that the disclosure remains focused solely on indirect monitoring without broader governance controls.
