| Comprehensive | Amadeus IT Group provides a high level of transparency on its climate-related lobbying. It identifies several concrete policies it has engaged on, including the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), ICAO’s Carbon Offset and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), and the UK Department for Transport and House of Commons consultations on carbon offsetting and sustainable tourism, as well as its work with IATA on an industry-wide carbon calculator and offsetting programme. The company also explains how it lobbies, stating that it is “meeting with policymakers directly and responding to open consultations,” has “active dialogue with EU representatives,” supplies “feedback during the consultation period” and meets “representatives of EFRAG,” while it influences industry standards through IATA working groups and its partnership with Travalyst—each instance clearly naming both the mechanism and the target entity. Finally, Amadeus is explicit about what it is trying to achieve: it supports the CSRD “with minor exceptions,” pressing for “clarity and reduced room for interpretation” in the data required; it seeks “a homogenous international approach to carbon emission reporting”; and it advocates the adoption of a common carbon-calculator standard and a unified airline offsetting scheme. By outlining the specific policies, detailing the channels and interlocutors used, and spelling out the concrete outcomes it seeks, the company demonstrates comprehensive transparency on its climate-policy lobbying activities. | 4 |
