| Comprehensive | Finnair provides a high level of transparency around its climate-policy lobbying. It names multiple concrete measures it engages on, including "The EU emissions trading scheme (ETS) for aviation," the Energy Taxation Directive’s "kerosene tax" proposal within the Fit-for-55 package, and the "ReFuelEU aviation: SAF mandate," showing exactly which pieces of legislation it seeks to influence. The company also spells out how and where it lobbies, stating that it "has been in active dialogue with national ministry of transport and parliament as well as the EU institutions (Council, Commission and European Parliament)" and that it works through trade bodies such as IATA and Airlines for Europe, thereby disclosing both direct engagement and association-based channels with clearly identified policymaking targets. Finally, Finnair is explicit about the outcomes it pursues: it "supports strengthening of aviation ETS" but asks for a "less ambitious phase-out of free emissions allowances" to allow the sector to recover, opposes a unilateral EU kerosene tax arguing that "Taxation on aviation fuels should be decided at international level at the ICAO," and backs the SAF mandate while calling for a "wider feedstock base" to secure affordable supply. By detailing the specific policies, the methods and audiences of engagement, and the precise changes it wants to see, Finnair demonstrates comprehensive disclosure of its climate-related lobbying activities. | 4 |
