Lobbying Governance

Intershop’s disclosures do not demonstrate any governance process for lobbying activities, climate-related or otherwise. The company states that “Intershop is politically neutral and therefore does not support any political parties,” and that “Intershop is a member of various associations to better represent its interests and foster dialogue on relevant topics,” but it does not disclose any procedures by which these memberships are reviewed for alignment with the company’s policies. There is no description of direct lobbying oversight, no process for monitoring or managing indirect lobbying through trade associations, and no indication of any individual or formal body responsible for lobbying governance. The company further confirms in response to a direct question that it has no commitment to align its engagement with the Paris Agreement (“No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years”). Overall, we found no evidence of any internal mechanisms, oversight structures or accountability measures to govern lobbying activities.
