Aselsan Elektronik Sanayi Ve Ticaret AS
- Named executive owner
- Direct lobbying governance
- Regular monitoring cycle
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.
This assessment is part of the Lobbying Governance Index, covering 8,500 companies scored on whether they have processes to oversee their climate lobbying. See all companies in Middle East & Africa or all companies in Turkey.
