Siemens Energy AG demonstrates a comprehensive level of transparency in its climate lobbying activities. The company has clearly identified numerous specific climate policies it has engaged with, including the "Revision of the Energy Taxation Directive," "ReFuelEU Aviation," "Fuel EU Maritime," "Renewable Energy Directive III," "EU Emission Trading System," "F-Gas Regulation," and many others. These disclosures provide detailed information about the policies and their geographical focus, primarily within Europe. Siemens Energy also provides extensive details about its lobbying mechanisms, such as "participating in public consultations by the European Commission," "bilateral talks with decision-makers at EU level," "publishing position papers," and engaging "individually and via trade associations." The company identifies its lobbying targets, including the European Commission, European Parliament, and Member States, ensuring clarity in both mechanisms and targets. Furthermore, Siemens Energy explicitly outlines the outcomes it seeks, such as "ambitious quotas for e-fuels in transport," "adequate thresholds for gas-fired PG and CHP," "strengthening CO2 link in energy taxation," and "broad regulatory eligibility for green hydrogen." These detailed and measurable goals reflect a transparent approach to its lobbying objectives and alignment with its climate commitments.

Siemens Energy demonstrates a well-defined governance process for climate lobbying alignment, with clear oversight structures and accountability measures. The evidence states that "Siemens Energy has an internal Government Affairs team" responsible for coordinating all communications and policy advocacy activities related to political leaders, policy-making institutions, and authorities. This team "is directly reporting to the CEO," ensuring "high visibility and accountability of the overall policy alignment on all climate and energy related issues worldwide." Furthermore, the company describes a process for ensuring alignment across various businesses and geographies, where the Government Affairs Department "collaborates closely with the Divisions on different regulations and policies affecting the respective Division via the regularly established calls/exchanges with Strategy Departments of different Divisions." The evidence also highlights that "there is a close coordination between the Government Affairs department and the Sustainability Office to ensure consistency in our strategy and our political as well as general communication." Additionally, Siemens Energy organizes "joint topic-dedicated workshops with Divisions" to align messaging and positioning, and the Government Affairs team conducts "regular alignment calls" with leadership and sustainability colleagues. These processes indicate strong governance, with monitoring mechanisms and responsible parties clearly identified.
