Lobbying Governance

OC Oerlikon provides limited but discernible evidence that it tries to align its policy engagement with its climate objectives. The company states that “Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy […] We consulted with the VDMA on realistic sustainable targets in context with the EU Green Deal and EU taxonomy”, indicating an active step to review at least one trade-association relationship for consistency with its climate strategy. More broadly, sustainability oversight sits at the top of the organisation—“Sustainability is governed at the highest level, that is at the Board level… ESG topics are regularly on the meeting agenda of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee,” and the Board has appointed “a Chief Sustainability Officer… responsible for executing the sustainability strategy and plan.” Together, these disclosures show a process and high-level governance structure that could encompass lobbying alignment, suggesting moderate governance. However, the company does not disclose a stand-alone lobbying or public-policy governance policy, provides no detail on how direct lobbying positions are reviewed or approved, offers no systematic methodology for assessing all trade associations, and publishes no lobbying-alignment report; therefore the transparency and rigour of its lobbying governance remain limited.
