Lobbying Governance

Tokmanni discloses a defined process to keep its policy engagement in step with its climate objectives, noting that "Sustainability strategy is part of the corporate strategy, and climate change strategy is part of our sustainability and corporate responsibility (CR) strategy" and that the strategy’s "development and implementation… is led by the Head of Corporate Responsibility and the VP of People and Sustainability, and the strategy is approved by the Board of Directors." Oversight of this engagement is embedded in existing sustainability structures: "Progress in achieving targets is followed by the Sustainability Steering Group and Executive Group," while "the Head of Corporate Responsibility leads this work" and escalates issues to the Board-approved Sustainability strategy, providing a clear line of responsibility for monitoring lobbying alignment. The company also states that "Tokmanni seeks to influence policies in areas where it already has existing internal policies and positions in place, and which are in line with its sustainability and CR strategy" and that, on emerging topics, it "engages selectively with key industry groups… together with relevant employees and the Sustainability Steering Group," indicating that both direct advocacy and participation in trade associations are expected to reflect its sustainability positions. Finally, Tokmanni makes a public pledge that its engagement will be "in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement." However, the disclosure does not describe any systematic review or public audit of how specific lobbying activities or trade-association positions are tested for Paris alignment, nor does it outline consequences for misalignment or examples of correcting or exiting associations, so the robustness and coverage of the governance framework remain moderate rather than comprehensive.
