Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Moderate	Bureau Veritas SA has taken steps to integrate its climate commitments into its public affairs and association engagement by giving “sustainability and public affairs responsibilities to the same person: Marc Boissonnet EVP for Public affairs and Chief Sustainability Officer,” and by creating “a sustainability working group in the association (TIC Council) to align all actions with environmental transition priorities,” which the company chairs to ensure such alignment. The company states that “our emission reduction targets incorporated in our sustainability strategy 2025 are based on the SBTi 1,5° targets and in line with the Paris Agreement,” confirms “Yes” to having a public commitment to conduct engagement in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement, and notes that “we engage with various trade associations to influence laws and regulations to help reduce the impact of human activity on the planet a few examples are the TIC council, AFEP, IACS or the MEDEF.” However, the company does not disclose any structured review or approval process for its direct lobbying activities or any board-level oversight, and we found no evidence of a periodic audit or criteria for assessing its overall lobbying alignment beyond the working group mechanism.
