DSM-firmenich, IKEA, Unilever and others praised for climate policy engagement
Unilever CSO Rebecca Marmot warned trade associations last March that the firm could withdraw membership if climate positions are not reviewed.
A new InfluenceMap report has identified 40 companies including DSM-firmenich, IKEA and Unilever as leaders on climate policy engagement, while listing best practices for others to follow.
The report looks at climate policy engagement across three areas: science-aligned advocacy or the extent to which corporate entities support or oppose science-aligned climate policy; strategic engagement; and addressing indirect influence by tackling misaligned industry associations.
