Traton SE

ISIN: DE000TRAT0N7 | Germany | Europe
Score 1 - Limited
Full assessment

Traton SE provides a formal governance framework for its public affairs and lobbying oversight but does not disclose any mechanisms for aligning those efforts with its climate commitments. The company notes that "TRATON SE is registered in the German lobby register for the representation of interests vis-Ã -vis the German Parliament and the Federal Government under registration number R001565" and that "The TRATON Public Affairs department is in direct (with politicians) and indirect (via associations, NGOs, other stakeholders) contact to decision-makers," while highlighting that "The TRATON GROUP's responsibilities for monitoring lobbying activities are set out in the TRATON Code of Conduct for employees and other Group policies (Donations and sponsoring, Public affairs one-voice-policy, state aid and grant register as well as Handling gifts, hospitality and invitations to events and conflicts of interest)." However, we found no evidence of a dedicated process for reviewing or managing climate-related lobbying, no named individual or committee overseeing climate lobbying alignment, and no description of how direct or indirect lobbying is governed to support its climate strategy.
