Telecom Italia SpA/Milano

Telecom Italia outlines a defined governance framework to ensure its lobbying aligns with its climate commitments by embedding climate strategy at the corporate level and establishing clear departmental and executive oversight. It explains that "Climate Change policy and strategy are defined at corporate level and spread across the two country of operations and all business units," formalized in the TIM Group Environmental Policy, and states that "coordination on public positions vis-Ã -vis company's stakeholders and in particular policy makers is guaranteed by the internal Public Affairs, Regulatory Affairs, and Institutional Communication Departments." The company assigns responsibility for direct policy engagement to these departments "in close cooperation with the executive managers of the areas involved, such as the Head of Sustainability and the Head of Real Estate," thereby naming specific individuals who review and approve positions. It also addresses indirect lobbying by noting that "those actions may be coordinated ... with national and international trade associations such as Confindustria, ETNO, GSMA and GeSI." While this indicates strong governance over both direct and indirect lobbying channels and clear oversight roles, Telecom Italia does not disclose a formal monitoring schedule, periodic review cycle, or external audit mechanism to assess ongoing alignment with its climate transition objectives.
