Aselsan Elektronik Sanayi Ve Ticaret AS has disclosed significant detail on its climate-policy lobbying. It names the specific long-term national climate change strategy and action plan, ETS regulation, Paris Agreement, and the 2053 net-zero emissions and green development targets. The company outlines its mechanisms, noting that "the company will continue to attend related workshops for the alignment of its strategy with the incoming National Strategy covering ETS regulation and other requirements of Paris Agreement," and identifies the Turkish government as its lobbying target. It also clearly articulates the outcomes it seeks, including contributing to the "2053 net-zero emissions and green development targets," promoting "sustainable and resilient urban design," and establishing "support mechanisms" to enable a new, fair, and equitable transition. These disclosures demonstrate a strong level of transparency around its climate lobbying activities.

Aselsan Elektronik Sanayi Ve Ticaret AS has established a defined governance process for its climate lobbying activities, with clear oversight and monitoring mechanisms covering both direct and indirect engagement. The company reports that it has “developed a compliance monitoring program within the Strategic Management System” and that “a transparent management of information sharing and policy dialogue is in place for direct and indirect activities that influence climate policy.” In 2021 “the CEO presided the Sustainability Committee,” and the Sustainability Committee together with the Strategic Planning and Corporate Performance Directorate “are responsible of setting and tracking actions to ensure our direct and indirect activities are consistent with our overall climate change strategy.” Moreover, its Climate Change Management Unit “carries out the coordination, reporting and monitoring processes of all climate engagement activities across business divisions and external official institutions and organizations,” indicating clearly defined oversight and monitoring mechanisms. The company describes engagement through “regular dialogue with lawmakers and regulatory authorities” and participation in “meetings of industry groups and trade associations” under a “compliance control mechanism with the coordination of Sustainability Committee,” demonstrating coverage of both direct and indirect lobbying channels. However, we found no evidence of a publicly available audit or third-party review explicitly assessing the alignment of its lobbying efforts with its climate policy, which limits external transparency on the effectiveness of these processes.
