K+S AG
- Paris Agreement alignment
- Direct lobbying governance
K+S AG discloses that "the entire Board of Executive Directors is responsible for political influence issues, including lobbying," with "political communication is handled by the corporate communications department" and "regulatory communications are handled by the internal legal department," demonstrating a formal oversight structure for its lobbying activities. While the company affirms "We support the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change" and expresses conviction that "climate neutrality can be achieved by 2050," it does not describe any processes to ensure its lobbying is aligned with these climate commitments. When asked if it has a public commitment "to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement," K+S AG replies "No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years," indicating there is no review, monitoring procedure, or criteria to manage either its direct lobbying or its trade association involvement against its climate goals. These disclosures reflect limited governance over its climate-related lobbying efforts, with clear assignment of responsibility but no mechanism to align or monitor those activities against climate objectives.
