Lobbying Governance

Eurofins Scientific discloses a broad sustainability governance structure but provides only limited insight into how lobbying is managed or aligned with climate goals. It states that the Board “expanded the scope and duties of the Corporate Governance Committee to include the scrutiny of environmental and social matters relevant to the Group” and that an “Executive Sustainability Committee was established to review, implement and deliver critical aspects of our ESG initiatives,” which shows oversight of ESG issues in general. However, these descriptions focus on data collection, KPI reporting and overall ESG performance rather than on political advocacy or lobbying practices, and the company does not disclose any mechanism for reviewing or approving lobbying positions, monitoring trade-association activity, or correcting misalignment. The only explicit reference that touches on lobbying alignment is its confirmation that it has “a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” but no details are provided on how this commitment is operationalised or overseen. Consequently, while there is a high-level pledge to align engagement with the Paris goals and evidence of committees that could in principle provide oversight, the company does not disclose a clear process, dedicated monitoring steps, or named individuals specifically responsible for ensuring lobbying alignment, and therefore the available disclosure indicates only limited lobbying-governance transparency.
