Saab AB
- Direct lobbying governance
Saab AB reports that its external policy engagement is managed by a dedicated Group Government Affairs organisation, which "engages with key stakeholders, including government officials, regulators, industry associations, the EU, NATO and other strategic partners" and is "led and overseen by the Senior Vice President & Head of Group Government Affairs," but the company does not disclose any specific process for ensuring that such lobbying activities support its climate ambition. The only climate-related reference is Saab's public commitment to Fossil Free Sweden, where it notes that this commitment "ensures that company decisions and strategy are in line with this ambition" and that it "is done through our governance processes and policies," yet no formal mechanism for monitoring or aligning direct or indirect lobbying to its target of becoming fossil-free by 2045 is described. We found no evidence of a structured climate-lobbying review, Board or executive sign-off on climate-related advocacy, or criteria to assess the climate positions of trade associations.
