MLP SE reports that its annual Sustainability Report “durchläuft alljährlich den Prüfprozess des Vorstands sowie des Aufsichtsrats der MLP SE” and that it is “im deutschen Lobbyregister registriert, wie es das Gesetz vorsschreibt,” but it explicitly notes that “eine Prüfung durch eine Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft ist nicht erfolgt” and that “liegen keine weiteren konkreten Konzepte, insbesondere zu politischer Einflussnahme, vor.” While the company outlines “Zahlungen von Mitgliedsbeiträgen” to bodies such as the Bundesverband deutscher Banken e. V. and the Wirtschaftsrat der CDU, it does not disclose any policy or procedure to ensure that its lobbying activities—whether conducted directly or through associations—are aligned with climate objectives, nor does it identify any individual or committee with oversight responsibility or any mechanisms for monitoring or reviewing lobbying engagement. There is no evidence of a dedicated governance framework for climate-related lobbying activities.

MLP SE provides only limited visibility into its climate-policy lobbying. It acknowledges its registration in the German Lobby Register and says it interacts directly with “Bundestag members and Fachpolitiker” and makes “Eingaben bei Gesetzgebungsverfahren … über Verbände und Interessenvereinigungen sowie im Rahmen öffentlicher Konsultationsverfahren,” showing that it uses at least three channels—direct meetings, submissions through trade associations, and responses to public consultations—to reach federal legislators. However, beyond mentioning these general avenues, the company gives no detail on the frequency, content or format of those engagements. On the substance of policy, it refers to the EU Green Deal and the EU Taxonomy Regulation and aligns its sustainability work with those frameworks, but it does not state that it has lobbied on any specific provision or bill, nor does it identify any other climate-related legislation it seeks to influence. Likewise, its objectives remain broad, expressing support for “advancing sustainability,” “climate protection and adaptation,” and the “promotion of sustainable finance,” without spelling out concrete regulatory changes, amendments or targets it is pursuing. As a result, while MLP discloses who it contacts and the broad themes discussed, it stops short of naming particular climate policies or articulating the precise outcomes it seeks, leaving its overall lobbying transparency at a limited level.
