Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Kernel Holding SA provides only high-level statements about seeking alignment between its advocacy and climate objectives, noting that "Kernel is a member of a number of professional business association" and that, as a "regional leader in climate governance the company seeks to communicate to stakeholders its position regarding alignment with Paris Agreement goals" and to explore "channels to extrapolate its experience in developing corporate climate governance across the market." While these remarks acknowledge an intention to ensure external engagement is consistent with Paris-aligned climate commitments, the disclosures do not outline any concrete governance mechanics—there is no description of oversight bodies, sign-off procedures, monitoring schedules, or criteria for reviewing trade-association positions. Consequently, the only evidence of lobbying governance is the stated aspiration to align engagements with climate goals, and the company does not disclose who is responsible for overseeing or enforcing this alignment or any process for managing either direct or indirect lobbying activities.

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Kernel Holding SA provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. The company references broad areas such as voluntary carbon markets, bioenergy and efforts to align “Ukraine’s agricultural sector with the EU climate regulatory system,” but it does not name any identifiable bills, directives or regulations it has tried to influence. Its description of engagement is confined to participating in public panels at COP29, with no detail on letters, meetings, submissions or the specific governmental bodies it may approach, leaving the lobbying mechanism largely undefined. Likewise, the company speaks in general terms about supporting the decarbonisation of food supply chains and integrating Ukrainian agriculture into EU climate rules, yet it does not spell out the concrete policy changes or targets it seeks. Together, these omissions mean the disclosures fall short of demonstrating clear, specific or outcome-oriented climate policy advocacy.	1
