Nokian Renkaat Oyj
- Board oversight
- Paris Agreement alignment
- Direct lobbying governance
Nokian Renkaat Oyj has structured its climate lobbying governance around its "GHG emission reduction steering group" composed of representatives from each tire factory in Finland, Russia, and the US, meeting "once in a quarter" to oversee and align emissions reduction initiatives and policy engagement. This group "ensures a process to ensure all direct and indirect activities to influence policy are consistent with our overall climate change strategy," indicating active alignment of both direct lobbying by its employees and indirect influence through external engagements. The company also describes routine internal screening where it "mirror[s] our activities with our climate change strategy and environmental policy," and affirms a "public commitment or position statement to conduct [its] engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement." However, we found no evidence of a dedicated external audit or third-party review of its climate lobbying alignment, nor disclosure of any specific executive or board-level oversight responsible for reviewing or enforcing this process, which would further strengthen transparency and accountability.
