Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Liechtensteinische Landesbank AG outlines its public affairs activities, noting it “is in regular contact with opinion leaders and selected representatives from the world of politics and economics” and holds membership in “key industry associations and organisations such as the Liechtenstein Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Bankers Association,” but it does not describe any internal mechanisms, oversight structures, or monitoring processes to govern these lobbying engagements. While a “Sustainability Council,” chaired by the Group CEO, “is responsible within the LLB Group for coordinating our ambitious goals” and oversees how “climate risk management is progressing,” we found no evidence that this council or any other individual or committee has responsibility for reviewing or aligning the bank’s lobbying activities with its sustainability or climate objectives. The company does not disclose a policy to ensure alignment of its direct or indirect lobbying, nor any process for monitoring, sign-off, or accountability in its political engagement. View Sources	E

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Liechtensteinische Landesbank discloses only a limited picture of its climate-related lobbying. It mentions working on EU sustainability rules such as the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation and the Taxonomy Regulation, and notes that "LLB dealt in particular with political and regulatory developments in the EU, the EEA and Switzerland," but it does not clarify whether it actively tried to influence these measures or any other specific climate policy. The bank does describe broad engagement channels—regular meetings with the Liechtenstein Parliament and Government, round-tables with the entire Government, and contact with the Financial Market Authority—yet these references give no detail on the content of the discussions, the format of submissions or letters, or whether climate policy was on the agenda. Likewise, its stated objectives remain aspirational: it "aim[s] to achieve complete climate neutrality" and "support[s] the efforts of legislators in the sustainability area to create relevant standards and transparency requirements," without spelling out what concrete regulatory changes it is advocating for or opposing. As a result, while the company signals that it interacts with policymakers on sustainability issues, it does not provide the specific policies, mechanisms, or desired outcomes needed to demonstrate robust transparency around climate lobbying.
