Flughafen Zurich AG

Flughafen Zurich AG has established an internal advisory panel, the "Public Affairs Committee," which "chiefly monitors political matters that are relevant to Zurich Airport and acts as an advisory panel for political issues of strategic importance to the company," and the Board of Directors "exercises ultimate oversight of responsible business conduct" with oversight provided through monthly Management Information System reports and reviews by the Audit & Finance Committee, to which Internal Audit "reports directly to the Chairman." The company engages directly with policymakers through regular events, technical meetings and a "Political Newsletter" issued "at least four times a year," and participates in indirect lobbying via membership in industry associations such as the "Swiss Business Council for Sustainable Development" and "ACI Europe." However, the company does not disclose a formal policy or mechanism to align its lobbying activities - whether direct advocacy or through trade associations - with specific climate objectives; we found no evidence of a climate-focused lobbying review process or criteria to ensure its political engagement supports its environmental goals.
