Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
Limited Talanx AG discloses a public commitment to align its engagement with climate goals, stating “Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement? […] Yes,” which indicates a stated intent to align its policy engagement with the Paris Agreement. However, the company does not disclose any specific governance processes such as oversight structures, a named individual or committee responsible for reviewing lobbying activities, or any monitoring and management procedures for either direct or indirect lobbying. We found no evidence of a defined review process or accountability measures to ensure that its lobbying remains consistent with its climate commitments.

Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
Limited Talanx AG provides only limited insight into its climate-policy lobbying. The disclosures indicate broad engagement with climate initiatives—such as collaboration with the Polish Ministry of Climate and Environment on hydrogen sector analysis and support for the local “Climate Alliance Hannover 2020” energy-efficiency programme—but they do not name any specific laws or regulations the company has sought to influence, instead describing general policy areas like energy-sector CO₂ reduction. Policymaking counterparts are mentioned (the Polish ministry and Hannover City Council), yet the company offers no detail on the methods it used to influence these bodies. Similarly, the outcomes described remain high-level ambitions (net-zero underwriting and investment by 2050, exit from thermal-coal business by 2038, a 40 % CO₂ reduction target for Hannover) rather than clearly articulated legislative or regulatory changes the company is advocating. This lack of specificity on policies, mechanisms and desired policy outcomes limits the transparency of Talanx AG’s climate-related lobbying disclosures.
