We have expanded the list of climate policies we assess company engagement with to incorporate land-use related policy, referring to legislative or regulatory measures to enhance and protect ecosystems and land where carbon is being stored. Assessments under this category are currently underweighted in terms of their contribution to the overall company metrics. This weighting will be progressively increased over the next 6 months.
We adjusted the terminology used to describe the queries running down the left-hand side of our scoring matrix and added additional explanatory text to the info-boxes. This has no impact on the scores and methodology. It has been done following user feedback to improve clarity.

In this section, we depict graphically the relationships the corporation has with trade associations, federations, advocacy groups and other third parties who may be acting on their behalf to influence climate change policy. Each of the columns above represents one relationship the corporation appears to have with such a third party. In these columns, the top, dark section represents the strength of the relationship the corporation has with the influencer. For example if a corporation's senior executive also held a key role in the trade association, we would deem this to be a strong relationship and it would be on the far left of the chart above, with the weaker ones to the right. Click on these grey shaded upper sections for details of these relationships. The middle section contains a link to the organization score details of the influencer concerned, so you can see the details of its climate change policy influence.

Safran does not appear to be actively engaged with climate change policy. The company communicated in support of combating climate change and signed several declarations supporting targets in 2019. Safran appears to support the aviation sector’s top-line commitment to deep decarbonization by 2050, but they balance this commitment with the condition that it also facilitates the growth of the sector.
The evidence suggests a lack of support for regulatory measures to combat climate change, as Safran tends to promote innovation and technological solutions as the main route to emission reductions. The company does appear to support certain areas of policy generally to reinforce market-based solutions, such as incentive schemes to increase the amount of biofuels used in the aviation sector in 2020. Safran appears broadly supportive of to increase the electrification and fuel efficiency in air transport.
They have a Partner position within BusinessEurope which appears to have opposed multiple strands of climate change policy and regulations in Europe.
