Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Strong	Recticel provides a high level of transparency around its climate-related lobbying. It names the concrete policy initiatives it engages on, including the Circular Plastics Alliance, which sits under the European Strategy for Plastics (2018), the EU Renovation Wave, and the Flemish Circular Transition Plan, giving the reader clear visibility of the legislative and strategic frameworks it seeks to influence. The company also spells out how and where it exerts influence: it works through trade bodies such as Essenscia and PU Europe, sits on PU Europe’s SHE and Technical committees, and its Divisional General Manager for Insulation Boards chairs PU Europe’s Board, demonstrating both direct and association-based channels to reach EU and national policymakers. Recticel further clarifies the policy outcomes it is pursuing, backing the Circular Plastics Alliance target of 10 million t of recycled plastics used annually in Europe by 2025 and calling for the EU Renovation Wave to double annual energy-renovation rates over the next decade to cut emissions and create green jobs. By pairing clearly identified policies with concrete advocacy channels and stated end-goals, the company offers a strong, though not yet exhaustive, picture of its climate-policy lobbying activity.	3

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	Recticel SA has put in place a governance process designed to ensure its policy engagement supports its climate objectives, embedding "The Recticel sustainability strategy is part of the business strategy," which was "formally approved by Recticel’s Management Committee and Board of Directors" and is driven by regular leadership oversight via "monthly Leadership team meetings." The company states that "formalized reporting ensures that all initiatives that are undertaken to directly or indirectly influence policy are aligned with Recticel’s guiding principles," and it affirms a public commitment with a clear "Yes" to conducting its engagement activities "in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement." Oversight is anchored at the top level, yet the company does not disclose a dedicated procedure for reviewing or reconciling the climate positions of the "active member of trade associations" in which it participates, nor specific processes for separately evaluating direct lobbying actions against its climate change strategy, which suggests moderate governance of its climate-related lobbying activities.	2
