Lobbying Governance

Limited |
Eurocommercial Properties NV has a limited governance framework for lobbying; it identifies the Board of Management as the formal body overseeing its engagement, stating that “Responsibility for overseeing political influence and lobbying activities lies with Eurocommercial’s Board of Management.” The company’s Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy further commits that it “prohibits the offering, granting, or promising of any advantage, including payments, kickbacks, gifts, or other benefits, to government officials...to influence or appear to influence their actions in favour of the Company,” reinforcing integrity in its interactions. However, we found no evidence of any specific policy or process to align its lobbying—whether direct or via industry associations—with its climate or ESG objectives, and it explicitly confirms that it has “no” public commitment to align its engagement activities with the goals of the Paris Agreement and “does not plan to have one in the next two years.” The company does not disclose any mechanism for reviewing or monitoring how its lobbying positions support its sustainability targets, nor any climate-related sign-off or audit procedure.
