Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
None HelloFresh SE has established a detailed structure to govern its ESG agenda, stating that “an essential step for achieving our environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals is establishing a clear governance structure that allows us to monitor, measure and communicate our progress,” with “each identified material ESG topic … led by an appointed international topic lead” and overseen by operations executives and a supervisory-board ESG committee that “meets quarterly … to discuss progress on the sustainability topics,” yet the company does not disclose any mechanisms, oversight bodies or processes—for example, a climate-lobbying review, board sign-off on public-policy engagement, or trade-association alignment—to govern its lobbying activities. We found no evidence of any named individual responsible for lobbying governance or of any process to align either direct or indirect lobbying with its climate or policy goals.

Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
Moderate HelloFresh provides clear information about its climate lobbying through its participation in the Together for Carbon Labelling initiative. It discloses that the initiative is 'advocating for the introduction of a carbon label' and working to 'change the European food standard'. The company explains its lobbying mechanisms in detail, including co-organizing events in the German parliament with Member of Parliament Rita Hagl-Kehl, and delivering presentations on the scientific methodology and business challenges of the proposed label. HelloFresh also clearly states the outcomes it seeks—namely, introducing a 'carbon label for food products' to enable consumers to make climate-conscious choices and enhance transparency in food supply chains. This level of specificity around the policy it is lobbying on, the mechanisms it has used, and the outcomes it aims to achieve demonstrates a solid degree of transparency in its climate lobbying disclosures.
