HOCHTIEF AG does not disclose any formal governance processes for its lobbying activities. Although it emphasizes that “memberships are an important contribution to shaping our markets in a responsible way and to democratic opinion forming” and notes that it “pushes ahead important topics together with partners and raises awareness of these topics within society—this includes the fields of digitalization and business ethics, as well as sustainability,” the company does not disclose who oversees these engagements, how alignment with its climate-change strategy is ensured, or any monitoring or review procedures for its advocacy activities—whether direct or via trade associations. We found no evidence of any policy requiring oversight, board sign-off, or audits of its external engagements or any named individual accountable for reviewing its lobbying alignment.

HOCHTIEF provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. The company refers generally to the importance of the European Green Deal and notes that sustainability criteria are becoming relevant in contract awards in several European countries, but it does not identify any specific laws or regulations it has tried to influence. On lobbying methods, it simply mentions maintaining a “dialog with many suppliers” and cooperation with clients and business partners, without explaining whether it meets, writes to, or otherwise engages government bodies or which public authorities it addresses. The only indication of an objective is the broad statement that “procurement law and the procurement process must include the right incentives for promoting sustainability,” which signals a general preference for stronger sustainability requirements but stops short of setting out concrete policy changes, measurable targets, or reasons for its position. As a result, the disclosures reveal little about the company’s actual lobbying activities, targets, or desired policy outcomes.
