Societe BIC SA
- Named executive owner
- Regular monitoring cycle
Societe BIC SA discloses a structured oversight for its general advocacy activities, noting that "CEO Gonzalve Bich and the members of the Executive Committee are responsible for steering and monitoring all lobbying activities on a regular basis" and that advocacy is "monitored by BIC's Legal Department, governed by the Anti-Corruption Policy and the BIC's Code of Conduct, which names the people to be notified in the event of breaches." However, the company does not disclose any process for aligning its lobbying - direct or through trade associations - with climate objectives, nor does it publish any dedicated climate lobbying review or policy, and it explicitly states, "No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years" regarding a Paris-aligned engagement commitment. This indicates that, while BIC has clear accountability structures for general lobbying oversight, it provides no evident governance of climate-related lobbying activities.
This assessment is part of the Lobbying Governance Index, covering 8,500 companies scored on whether they have processes to oversee their climate lobbying. See all companies in North America or all companies in United States.
