Deutsche Post AG

Deutsche Post AG appears to have a structured process to integrate its climate strategy into its lobbying activities. It clarifies that "Responsibility for both the Public Policy and the Clean Operations topics are overseen on board level, and the teams are reporting directly to the Group CEO," and that these groups "align on a weekly basis and regularly attend external meetings together, to make sure that the environmental strategy for DPDHL and any related policy engagements are closely linked." This suggests senior leadership oversight and an active mechanism for monitoring policy engagements. Moreover, its Corporate Public Affairs department "represents the Group vis-Ã -vis political stakeholders and introduces the interests of the company into political decision-making processes on environmental topics; exchange with external stakeholders takes place both bilaterally as well as via organizations such as associations and foundations," indicating coverage of direct and indirect lobbying channels. However, the company does not disclose any dedicated climate lobbying audit or third-party review assessing the alignment of its advocacy, nor does it present formal criteria or procedures for evaluating association memberships whose positions might diverge from its climate commitments. We found no evidence of a publicly available report on climate lobbying or a policy to engage or exit associations if their stance conflicts with the company's Paris-aligned commitments.
