Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield
- Paris Agreement alignment
- Direct lobbying governance
Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield has established a moderate governance process to ensure its policy engagement aligns with its climate objectives, primarily in its indirect lobbying through trade associations, although it does not disclose oversight for direct lobbying or name a responsible individual or body. The company explains that its "process is to habilitate people to represent the Group's position on the topics at stake," ensuring that "representation activities are carried only by habilitated people who have knowledge of the Group strategy on climate change and will not engage the Group on contradictory positions with its objectives." It further notes a "strict process for managing authority and delegations ensuring that the right people from the right teams inform the right public policies, in line with the Group's positions," formalized in its Code of Ethics, which specifies that "each employee, manager and director must not commit the company beyond the extent of powers and delegations entrusted to him or her." The company also confirms a public commitment to conduct its engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement. However, the company does not disclose any process for reviewing or monitoring its direct lobbying activities nor does it identify a specific individual or formal body responsible for overseeing its climate-related lobbying alignment.
