Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
None HUGO BOSS’s public disclosures do not reveal any internal governance processes to manage its climate-related lobbying. The evidence highlights involvement in “the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action” and that it “is committed to partner with the finance community and policymakers to catalyse scalable solutions for a low carbon economy throughout the sector,” yet it provides no details on oversight or monitoring. It notes “no direct proposed legislative solutions are conducted, but support on the topics is provided,” but the company does not disclose who reviews or signs off on its engagement, nor does it describe any process for aligning its interactions with policymakers with its climate strategy. We found no evidence of any policy, procedure, audit, or named individual or committee responsible for overseeing lobbying alignment.

Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
None HUGO BOSS provides virtually no transparency on its climate-related lobbying. The disclosure only notes that the company collaborates with other signatories to the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action on general “policy engagement,” but it does not identify any specific laws or regulations it has tried to influence, describe the tools or channels it uses to lobby, name the government bodies it approaches, or explain what policy changes it hopes to secure. The information shared centres on the company’s own emission-reduction targets, which are internal operational goals rather than outcomes it seeks from public policy. Because none of the key elements needed to understand its lobbying activities are detailed, the public cannot see whether, how, or to what end HUGO BOSS seeks to shape climate legislation.
