Direct Lobbying Transparency

| Limited | Bosch Ltd offers only a limited window into its climate-policy lobbying. It names one concrete initiative – its participation in the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance under the EU Green Deal, where its chairman co-chaired the roundtable on clean hydrogen for residential applications – but does not list any other specific laws or regulations it has tried to influence. The company also acknowledges working through Indian and European trade associations on broad themes such as energy sustainability, yet it does not identify the individual policies discussed within those forums. On mechanisms, Bosch discloses a single clear example of direct engagement (the roundtable it co-chaired with the European Commission) and notes more generally that it advocates through associations such as CII and ACMA, but it does not describe additional methods like letters, consultations, or meetings, nor does it consistently name the government bodies approached. Finally, the company states an overarching intention to support innovation-friendly “political framework conditions” and aligns itself with the Paris Agreement and India’s COP26 pledges, but it stops short of specifying concrete legislative changes, quantitative targets, or other measurable outcomes it seeks. The result is a disclosure that acknowledges some activity yet provides scant detail on the precise policies, channels and objectives of its lobbying. | 1 |
