Bonduelle discloses a general commitment to align its external engagement with climate goals, stating that it has "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement," which indicates an intention to govern lobbying in a way that supports the Paris objectives. Beyond this high-level pledge, the company describes governance structures for its sustainability programme—such as "monthly meetings of the group’s Executive Committee dedicated to monitoring the B! Pact" and the creation of pillar-specific "B! Pact Committees"—but these structures are focused on broader CSR implementation rather than the oversight of lobbying activities. We found no evidence that the company explains how it monitors or reviews either its direct advocacy or its membership in trade associations, nor does it identify an individual or board committee specifically responsible for ensuring lobbying alignment. Consequently, while the stated Paris-alignment commitment suggests some acknowledgement of the need for responsible climate engagement, the disclosure lacks detail on processes, monitoring mechanisms, or accountability for lobbying, making the governance framework for climate-related lobbying appear limited.
