Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Comprehensive	Iveco Group provides highly detailed and coherent information about its climate-related lobbying. It names multiple specific EU files it has engaged on, including the revision of the Eurovignette Directive, the New Battery Regulation, the revision of the Regulation on CO2 emissions from Heavy-Duty Vehicles within the “Fit for 55” package, and the proposed Critical Raw Materials Regulation, each described with the legislative context and timelines. The company explains exactly how and where it seeks to influence these measures: it meets directly with the European Commission’s Directorate-General CLIMA and GROW, contributes technical input to working groups such as the VECTO simulation tool task force, and lobbies indirectly "through ACEA and national associations" as well as Hydrogen Europe and NGVA Europe, while also monitoring Member-State transposition of directives. Iveco is equally explicit about the outcomes it pursues, for example advocating "full or partial exemptions from road toll charges" for zero-emission trucks, asking that Light Commercial Vehicles and minibuses be excluded from the Eurovignette rules until 2025, supporting "recycled content targets in new batteries" and new battery removability requirements, and pressing for recognition of CO₂-neutral fuels and biomethane in the HDV CO₂ regulation. It frequently states its stance as "Support with no exceptions," linking its positions to alignment with the Paris Agreement. Taken together, these disclosures demonstrate a comprehensive level of transparency across the policies it lobbies, the mechanisms it uses, and the specific legislative outcomes it seeks.	4

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	Iveco Group demonstrates a structured approach to governing its climate-related lobbying through clear oversight, formal policies, and targeted review processes, but it stops short of fully integrating direct lobbying activities into a comprehensive alignment framework. For instance, “The highest responsibility for Iveco Group’s Public Affairs lies with the Senior Leadership Team (SLT),” which “oversees advocacy activities” and interaction with public authorities, and the company “abides by the Iveco Group Responsible Lobbying Policy” to regulate its engagement. On indirect lobbying, the company commits to robust checks by stating “We conduct an annual review of these associations’ alignment with Iveco Group’s strategy,” assessing misalignments between their climate policies and the company’s own position. It also publicly affirms that “engagement activities will be conducted in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” signaling a high-level climate commitment. However, the company does not disclose a specific procedure for ensuring that its direct lobbying positions are reviewed for climate alignment, nor is there evidence of a board-level sign-off or an external audit of its climate lobbying. We found no publicly available detailed audit or third-party review of its climate lobbying alignment, nor criteria for assessing direct lobbying activities against climate objectives.	2
