Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	SkiStar discloses a high-level sustainability governance framework—“Responsibility for sustainability-related issues is ultimately held by SkiStar’s Board” and a “Sustainability Forum, chaired by the CEO”—yet it provides only limited information on how lobbying or public-policy advocacy is managed. The most direct reference is a generic statement that “SkiStar activities and engagement with different stakeholders regarding sustainability…ensures the activities are in line with the strategy,” and that the company “follows-up on its environmental performance with KPIs to ensure that the goals set in our strategy is reached.” In addition, SkiStar notes that it “collaborates in industry initiatives…within the SLAO and ALF” and that, together with SLAO, it “has developed a roadmap for fossil-free Sweden,” implying some level of coordination with trade associations. However, the disclosures do not explain who reviews or signs off lobbying positions, how alignment of either direct advocacy or association advocacy is assessed, or whether any formal monitoring, escalation, or corrective processes exist. Because the company only briefly indicates that engagement activities are kept “in line with the strategy” without detailing specific mechanisms, oversight roles, or monitoring procedures for lobbying, this indicates limited governance transparency for climate-related lobbying activities.

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Moderate	SkiStar AB offers a moderate level of transparency around its climate-policy lobbying. It discloses the core policy focus of its engagement—the "Tax reduction of fossil free fuels, such as HVO100"—and places this within the broader category of "Carbon pricing, taxes, and subsidies" at the national level in Sweden, but it does not indicate whether this is the only climate measure on which it lobbies. The company is much more detailed about how it engages, listing several clear mechanisms—"direct contact with ministers," "meetings with policy makers," participation in "round tables," and attendance at "the government’s climate meeting"—and identifying ministers and other government officials as the specific targets of these efforts. On outcomes, it states that it "Support[s] with no exceptions" the tax reduction for fossil-free fuels and acknowledges that this position "is not aligned" with the Paris Agreement, yet no additional policy objectives are described. Together, these disclosures provide solid insight into the company’s methods and one concrete policy position, but leave gaps about any wider climate-lobbying agenda.	C
