Full assessment

Finnair discloses that "Our lobbying activities are audited regularly to ensure compliance with legal and ethical standards," demonstrating that its public affairs work is subject to oversight, and notes that it "maintain[s] a fair and transparent approach to lobbying" and "refrain from pressuring or supporting political decision-makers." It also acknowledges engaging indirectly through its membership in trade associations, stating that "Finnair is an active member of aviation industry organizations such as A4E and IATA, the Confederation of Finnish Industries (EK), its sub-associations, and several chambers of commerce." However, the company does not disclose any procedures for ensuring that these direct or indirect lobbying efforts align with its climate change strategy or the goals of the Paris Agreement, and explicitly confirms "No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years" regarding a public commitment to conduct engagement in line with the Paris Agreement. We found no evidence of a specific individual or formal body assigned to oversee lobbying activities or of any climate-focused lobbying review processes, indicating that while there is general auditing of lobbying, there is no governance framework connecting lobbying activities to Finnair's climate objectives.
