An analysis reveals that several small public affairs and law firms in Europe are working with major oil companies to influence EU policy. Despite fossil fuel clients comprising only 1% of the lobbying firms' revenue, these firms continue to maintain relationships with the industry due to a lack of public and regulatory pressure. The Good Lobby's research emphasizes the urgent need for accountability measures to deter such practices, while also pointing out that many companies are making sustainability promises that contradict their lobbying activities.
"The research shows that public affairs firms have been able to engage with fossil fuel clients without facing accountability, suggesting a troubling lack of oversight in this area."
"Most major oil and gas companies retain public affairs firms even though fossil fuel clients account for only 1% of revenue, highlighting a misalignment in sustainability commitments."
