Gecina SA
- Board oversight
- Direct lobbying governance
- Regular monitoring cycle
Gecina's governance of climate-related advocacy is anchored in a "rigorous process" whereby "communication at all levels are validated" and "multiple teams including the CSR department and the legal department are involved in the process to guarantee the consistency with Gecina's legal obligations and climate change strategy." The company notes that it "is not engaging through direct lobbying actions on climate change issues but ensure its influence through several actions," overseeing its indirect lobbying by taking part in the "CSR commission at the FEI (Federation of real estate and property development companies), where carbon care is one of the most active issues," and by serving as an "active representant in CSR committee of associations as BBCA, Construction 21, to carry Climate change message and verify that the discussions are consistent." These elements demonstrate a defined mechanism for aligning its policy advocacy with its climate commitments. However, the company does not disclose a specific individual or formal committee tasked with overseeing those engagement activities, nor does it describe any recurring review or audit process for its lobbying efforts, and we found no evidence of board-level approval of its advocacy approach.
