Direct Lobbying Transparency
| Overall Assessment | Comment | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Moderate | Wärtsilä provides limited detail on the specific climate policies it has lobbied, naming only the European Commission’s electricity market design reform—through its public consultation on “Energy Market Redesign: For a Decarbonised Europe”—while otherwise referring broadly to areas like subsidies, carbon taxes, and market reforms without identifying particular laws or regulations. The company offers almost no information on direct or indirect lobbying mechanisms or targets apart from that consultation, disclosing no meetings, letters, or engagement with specific policymakers or bodies. In contrast, Wärtsilä is clear on the outcomes it seeks, advocating to “incentivise investments in flexible generation assets,” “introduce shorter timeframes for power trading markets,” and to “create a new capability market to attract investments in flexible balancing power capacity,” along with “improving price transparency” and “enabling strong, granular price signals” aimed at supporting renewable energy integration and ensuring energy security. Overall, Wärtsilä’s disclosures reflect moderate transparency—robust on its desired outcomes but sparse in naming the policies and mechanisms it has engaged with. | 2 |
