| Moderate | Emmi provides a mixed but generally adequate picture of its climate-related lobbying. On substance, the company identifies one concrete piece of legislation it has engaged on, noting that it "officially supported the CO2 legislation that was voted upon in Switzerland in June 2021" and describing its work around the Swiss "CO2/Energy Act"; beyond this, it references broader topics such as the Paris Agreement without naming additional bills. The description of how it lobbies is limited: Emmi discloses that its CEO took part in the "Klimastimme der Wirtschaft" coalition and that it held "direct discussions with the responsible person in the Swiss government," but it does not systematically set out further methods (letters, consultations, submissions) or identify additional policymaker targets. By contrast, the company is relatively explicit about what it wants to achieve. It explains that the CO2 legislation should "accelerate the use of renewable energies and increase energy efficiency," and that it seeks to ensure "mechanisms of incentive tax" are retained, "CO2 levies [are used] in a more targeted way to help where we are not making progress," "efforts a company has done in the last period should be respected for next period's target," and that "funds continue to flow into research." These statements reveal several specific policy outcomes it advocates, indicating clear positions even though the underlying engagement channels and the full list of policies addressed are not comprehensively detailed. | 2 |
