MTU Aero Engines AG

ISIN: DE000A0D9PT0 | Germany | Europe
Score 2 - Moderate
Full assessment

MTU Aero Engines AG describes that "our political engagement activities are aligned with our overall climate strategy through various steps" and that it is "in constant exchange with the responsible colleagues (meetings, jour‐fixes, events, trade fairs) in order to align our political messaging with our climate strategy," demonstrating a mechanism for aligning direct lobbying to its climate priorities. It further indicates that "MTU's political dialogue is managed centrally by the Group Representation Office of the Corporate Communications department" and that interactions "must be granted central approval," suggesting centralized oversight. The company also notes that "donations to political parties or party-affiliated organizations are generally subject to approval by the Supervisory Board," reflecting an additional governance layer. However, MTU does not disclose a specific individual or formal committee tasked with overseeing climate‐lobbying alignment, and we found no evidence of a dedicated climate‐lobbying audit or a policy for reviewing or adjusting its indirect lobbying through industry associations against its climate objectives.
