Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Comprehensive	L’Occitane International provides a highly detailed picture of its climate-related lobbying. It openly names the specific policy files it works on, including the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, the EU Soil Health Law, the EU Nature Restoration Law, the prospective Global Plastics Treaty, revisions to the EU CLP regulation for natural ingredients and its input into the French National Strategy for Biodiversity. The company also explains how it seeks to influence these measures: it holds bilateral meetings with government negotiators, joins official delegations such as Business for Nature at the Geneva and Montreal GBF negotiations, contributes to national working groups, and exerts influence through several coalitions (RE100, 50L Home, OP2B). In each case the lobbying target is clearly identified, ranging from UN convention negotiators to EU institutions and French regulators. Finally, the company is explicit about the concrete results it wants to achieve—mandatory corporate transparency and large-scale finance within the GBF, ambitious biodiversity-restoration targets under the Nature Restoration Law, the scaling-up of regenerative agriculture via the Soil Health Law, and safeguarding suitable rules for natural ingredients in the CLP revision—going well beyond general aspirations. This level of specificity across policies, mechanisms and desired outcomes demonstrates comprehensive transparency in its climate-policy lobbying activities.	4

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	L’Occitane’s disclosures indicate a limited governance approach to climate lobbying. It states “The Group decided to focus its external engagement activity to sustainability topics” and confirms “Yes” to the question, “Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement?” However, the company does not disclose any specific processes—such as defined monitoring procedures, executive or board oversight, or periodic alignment reviews—and we found no evidence of a named individual or formal body overseeing its lobbying activities to ensure consistency with its climate transition plan.	1
