Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Elekta AB’s disclosures focus extensively on sustainability governance— for example, “Elekta’s Board of Directors governs our sustainability program” and the establishment of a “Global Policy and Patient Access” department that “works with decision makers” to drive systemic changes in healthcare— but the company does not disclose any internal mechanisms, oversight structures, or accountability measures specific to lobbying activities or alignment of lobbying with climate policy objectives. While the Board’s Compensation and Sustainability Committee “oversees the setting and execution of Elekta’s Sustainability strategy” through quarterly meetings and reports, and a cross-functional steering committee “regularly meets to review corporate sustainability matters,” we found no evidence of a policy or review process for direct or indirect lobbying, no named individual or formal body charged explicitly with lobbying oversight, and no description of how lobbying activities are monitored or managed in alignment with climate or other policy goals.

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Elekta AB provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. The company does reference two identifiable policy initiatives—the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and the forthcoming Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive—indicating that it is monitoring and engaging with these regulations, but it offers no further detail on what that engagement entails or whether any other climate measures are being addressed. The disclosures do not spell out how the company seeks to influence policymakers: beyond noting memoranda of understanding and collaborations related to cancer-care policy, there is no information on letters, meetings, consultations, or other tactics aimed specifically at climate legislation, nor are lobbying targets named in the climate context. Finally, Elekta does not clarify the positions it advocates or any concrete outcomes it hopes to secure on CBAM, CSRD, or any other climate issue. As a result, the company’s transparency around climate-policy lobbying remains minimal.	D
