Maire SpA offers only limited transparency on its climate-policy lobbying. It names one concrete engagement—the public consultation on Italy’s National Integrated Plan on Climate and Energy (PNIEC)—and explains that it took part by “meeting with policy makers and presentation of our position” to the Ministry for Environment and Energy Security. Apart from this, the company refers in broad terms to frameworks such as the European Green Deal and the Fit for 55 package, but does not detail any specific clauses or bills it has tried to influence. Its description of lobbying mechanisms is similarly narrow: aside from the PNIEC consultation it mentions trade-association participation and other consultations without identifying the government bodies approached or the form of contact used. On desired outcomes, Maire states that it broadly supports the PNIEC and Italy’s medium-term energy-mix choices in line with the Paris Agreement, yet it does not spell out concrete legislative changes or targets it wants adopted. Overall, the disclosures provide some insight but still leave important gaps on the range of policies addressed, the methods employed, and the precise outcomes sought.

Maire SpA has established a structured process to ensure that its direct external engagement is aligned with its climate strategy, but the company does not disclose equivalent oversight for indirect lobbying activities. For direct engagement, the company highlights the “direct commitment of the CEO in the execution of these activities,” and designates an “Internal Sustainability Committee, coordinated by Maire Tecnimont Chief Financial Officer” as a strategic advisory body that supports “the definition of the policies for the sustainable management of the Business and the related development programs, guidelines and objectives, monitoring their achievement.” Consistency across divisions is managed by the “Sustainability Reporting Department, in charge of managing, developing and coordinating Group long-term relationship on sustainability issues with key stakeholders,” while the “Institutional Relations and Communication Department guarantees that all interactions that employees have in the name of the company or representing the company are coherent with the image and message that the company itself wants to give to the outside world.” A “specific procedure has been issued to regulate the institutional relations and external relations with Italian and foreign Public Administrations,” and within this framework “specific attention is devoted to proper alignments of group external relations activities to climate change.” The company further confirms its “public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.” However, Maire SpA does not disclose any mechanisms for aligning or monitoring its indirect lobbying through trade associations, nor does it provide evidence of independent audits or dedicated board-level reviews specifically assessing climate lobbying alignment.
