Addtech AB offers only limited insight into how it governs lobbying and other external engagement. The company notes that "subsidiaries are part of trade organizations on their own behalf and are expected to be consistent concerning climate work in the same manner as how work is done internally" and confirms it has "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement." This indicates an intention to align indirect engagement with its climate objectives, but the disclosure provides no detail on formal mechanisms, reviews or corrective actions to ensure that alignment, and there is no mention of any “specific individual or formal body” that oversees lobbying activities. All other governance text refers to general sustainability oversight—e.g., "the Group’s Board of Directors…is responsible…for Addtech’s overall, long-term sustainability targets"—without linking that oversight to lobbying or policy advocacy. Consequently, while there is a stated expectation of alignment, the company does not disclose procedures for monitoring or managing lobbying, nor does it describe how it evaluates or addresses potential misalignment within trade associations, leaving substantial gaps in transparency and accountability.
