Lobbying Governance

Temenos AG discloses only a minimal framework for lobbying governance, centred on a blanket prohibition rather than a structured alignment process. The company states that "Temenos does not make any contributions to political parties nor does it engage in any lobbying activities" and adds that it "monitors compliance with the policy regularly through routine and ad hoc checks and audits across the organization," indicating the existence of a policy and a basic monitoring mechanism. It further reiterates that "we do not engage in any other direct or indirect activities that influence public policy," which removes the need for more elaborate alignment measures but also means there is no disclosed procedure for assessing or managing lobbying should it occur. While the Nomination & ESG Committee and CSR and Ethics Committee oversee broad ESG matters, the evidence provided links these bodies to climate strategy and risk management rather than to oversight of lobbying, and there is no mention of a responsible individual or board committee reviewing potential policy-engagement alignment with climate goals. We found no evidence of processes for evaluating trade-association positions, no description of how any future direct or indirect advocacy would be brought into line with the Paris Agreement, and no public lobbying report or audit. Consequently, the company shows only limited governance, confined to a policy prohibition and internal checks, without the more detailed oversight, monitoring, or climate-specific alignment mechanisms seen in stronger disclosures.
