About You Holding SE provides only limited insight into how it governs climate-related lobbying or policy engagement. The company states that, before undertaking any external advocacy, it "Align[s] engagement activities internally between departments including our legal & compliance team before engaging," indicating that at least one review step exists to check that external engagement is consistent with its climate-change strategy. Oversight of broader ESG matters is assigned to senior leadership – "The highest level of responsibility for overseeing the execution of ESG-related issues lies with the Co-CEO Operations and Finance" – but the disclosure does not clarify whether this remit specifically includes monitoring lobbying positions or trade-association activity. Beyond this internal alignment step, we found no evidence of a structured process for assessing the climate alignment of direct lobbying, no reference to reviewing or managing indirect lobbying through industry bodies, and no published lobbying audit or commitment to align advocacy with the Paris Agreement (“No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years”). Therefore, the available information points to a basic internal check rather than a detailed governance framework, and key elements such as ongoing monitoring, trade-association alignment reviews, or board-level approval of lobbying strategies are not disclosed.
