Score 1 - Limited
Full assessment

Bilfinger SE provides only limited information on how it governs climate-related lobbying. The company states that it has "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement", indicating an intention to align its policy advocacy with climate goals, but it does not explain how this commitment is operationalised. Although broader climate responsibilities are assigned to the Executive Board, with "responsibility for dealing with the opportunities, risks and impact of climate change" lying at that level, and the Supervisory Board "deals with sustainability topics, including climate change, at least twice a year", these references relate to general sustainability oversight rather than to the monitoring or management of lobbying activities. There is no disclosure of a process for reviewing the company's own lobbying positions or those of its trade associations, no description of mechanisms such as an internal lobbying audit, and no named individual or committee explicitly charged with ensuring lobbying alignment. As a result, the available evidence shows only a high-level pledge but lacks detail on governance structures, monitoring procedures, or accountability specific to lobbying.
