Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	Randstad NV offers a moderate level of insight into its climate-related lobbying. The company discloses that it participates in the “All Policies for a Healthy Europe” platform and that it sent an open letter to the newly elected President of the European Parliament in July 2019, illustrating at least one concrete lobbying mechanism and a clearly identified target, the European Parliament. It explains the broad policy areas it seeks to influence—climate-change adaptation and the reduction of air pollution—yet it does not name any specific EU directives or legislative proposals, so readers cannot pinpoint the exact measures being addressed. The desired outcomes are, however, spelled out in detail: creation of “a senior European Commissioner to oversee cross-sectoral action on health and well-being,” “strengthened health and well-being impact assessments,” and a dedicated “home for health” within the European Commission, all intended to embed health and air-quality considerations in EU climate policy. This clarity on objectives contrasts with the limited information on the precise laws engaged and the narrow list of disclosed engagement tools.	2

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Randstad NV discloses a public commitment to conduct its engagement activities “in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” and reports that “we try to have meetings with policy makers that are relevant for our climate change strategy,” including discussions on transitioning “towards a full electric fleet” and the need for charging infrastructure. However, the company does not disclose any formal governance framework for these lobbying or policy engagement efforts: there is no description of oversight structures, monitoring or review procedures, or a named individual or committee responsible for ensuring that its direct or indirect lobbying activities are aligned with its climate commitments beyond these ad-hoc engagements.	1
