Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG provides very limited transparency on its climate-related lobbying. The only policy it names is the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, describing its objective "to categorize packaging according to its recyclability and ultimately to ensure that all packaging on the European market is recyclable," but the company does not indicate that it actually engaged policymakers on this or any other climate-related measure. Likewise, no direct or indirect lobbying mechanisms are disclosed; there is no reference to meetings, submissions, membership activities, or the specific governmental bodies that might have been targeted. The company merely expresses broad aspirations for "higher recycling rates through better collection" and for lowering Extended Producer Responsibility fees, without linking these preferences to concrete legislative changes or amendments it is seeking. As a result, readers gain only a rudimentary sense of the outcomes the company favors and no insight into whether or how it seeks to influence policy.	D
