Clariant AG

Clariant provides only limited insight into how it governs climate-related lobbying. The disclosure notes that its "external engagement activities" are expected to be "consistent with your climate commitments and/or climate transition plan" and that this area is overseen by "The Innovation and Sustainability Committee (ISC) [which] comprises two to four members of the Board of Directors, ideally with professional experience in ... sustainability, including climate risk management." While this shows that a board-level body is assigned to review the alignment of external engagement - including lobbying - with the company's climate objectives, the company does not disclose any further details of the process: there is no description of how the ISC monitors or approves lobbying positions, no reference to assessing trade-association memberships, and no indication of specific procedures, frequency of reviews, or corrective actions. Consequently, the evidence points to the existence of a nominal oversight body but provides no substantive information on mechanisms, monitoring, or alignment checks for either direct or indirect lobbying.
