ASM International NV provides limited insight into how it governs climate-related public-policy engagement. It states that it "partner[s] with [a] 3rd party consulting firm on our Net Zero 2035 commitment" and that this relationship "provides an independent check of our engagement activities to insure that they align and are consistent with our climate change strategy and actions to realize our Net Zero 2035 commitment," indicating at least one external review mechanism for ensuring alignment. The company also confirms that it "ha[s] a public commitment or position statement to conduct [its] engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement," signalling an explicit pledge to align its advocacy with climate objectives. However, the disclosure does not specify whether these engagement activities cover direct lobbying, indirect lobbying through industry associations, or both; no details are given on internal processes, frequency of reviews, escalation steps, or corrective actions, and no individual or formal governance body is identified as responsible for overseeing lobbying alignment. Consequently, while a commitment and an external alignment check are mentioned, the company does not disclose a broader governance framework, board oversight, or trade-association management procedures related to lobbying alignment.
