Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]Our approach on environmental matters is in line with METRO's approach to responsible lobbying. Since the opening of METRO AG's Brussels office in 2005 and our Berlin office in January 2010, we have actively communicated our understanding of "responsible lobbying†. By participating in discussions and publishing positions, we contribute to a discourse on the subject. For METRO AG, this transparent work is of utmost importance.
Politicians and the public rightly expect companies to contribute their expertise to current debates. Topics such as consumer protection and information, food safety, the responsible use of resources, and the relationship between employers and employees are issues that matter to many people. For METRO, it goes without saying that the company will contribute to these political and social discussions.
Today, responsible lobbying therefore means that companies use their political clout to help develop a social framework that is conducive to sustainable economic activity and thus ensures the well-being of present and future generations:
