Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement?[…]Yes

Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your external engagement activities are consistent with your climate commitments and/or climate transition plan?[…]The EU aims to achieve climate-neutrality by 2050, in line with the EU's commitment to global climate action under the Paris Agreement and the European Green Deal. We fully agree and support this EU target. This objective will translate into new regulations and incentives to invest in the transition (see also EU Taxonomy), reduce energy consumption and force all industrial players to adapt their processes accordingly.
