Direct Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Comment Score
Limited DSV A/S offers some insight into its climate-policy lobbying but the detail remains limited. It does name one concrete initiative—the Danish Power-to-X Strategy—and explains that it joined “a group of 18 companies convened by Dansk Energi” to feed recommendations into that strategy, as well as noting that “Our CEO chairs a committee that works under the Danish government to find greener solutions for land transportation – and drive them forward.” These references clarify two distinct mechanisms (direct participation in a government committee and indirect engagement through an industry-led working group) and identify the targets of each effort (the Danish government and Dansk Energi). However, beyond this single strategy the company only refers generally to “developing sustainable fuel production and infrastructure in Denmark” and to the use of wind-based hydrogen for heavy-duty vehicles, without naming further policies. Likewise, the outcomes it seeks are framed in broad terms—seeking to “contribute to solving global climate challenges, ensure the competitiveness of Danish companies, and enhance Denmark’s wealth”—rather than specifying concrete legislative changes or quantitative goals. As a result, while DSV discloses who it engages and broadly why, it provides only partial visibility into the specific policies addressed and the precise results it is attempting to secure. 1
Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Comment Score
Limited DSV A/S has made a public commitment to conduct its engagement activities "in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement", demonstrating an intention to align its advocacy with global climate objectives. However, the company does not disclose any specific governance structures, oversight bodies, or processes for monitoring and managing its lobbying activities, nor does it identify an individual or committee responsible for reviewing alignment. We found no evidence of detailed procedures to oversee direct or indirect lobbying or of any audits or sign-off requirements to ensure ongoing consistency with its climate commitment. 1
