FMO is pleased to announce the publication of its Position Statement on Corporate Stakeholder Engagement & Lobbyingfor public consultation. This statement is an integral part of FMO's Sustainability Policy framework, and outlines our approach to engaging with corporate stakeholders, including the Dutch State, the EU institutions, Netherlands members of parliament, NGOs, Think tanks and media representatives.

The Position Statement emphasizes the importance of transparent, timely, and constructive engagement with stakeholders to enhance our decision-making processes and drive positive change.  FMO considers its engagement with stakeholders a two-way dialogue that helps us improve, bring diverse perspectives, and enhance key practices such as financial performance, ESG risk assessment, and impact management. The Position Statement furthermore details FMO’s approach to policy advocacy and lobbying. 

Public consultation process

As part of developing new or material changes to Position Statements, FMO conducts a public stakeholder consultation, inviting any stakeholder to provide feedback by publishing the proposed new or materially changed Position Statement on our website for 30 days.

Invitation to provide feedback

We invite all stakeholders to review the document and provide feedback during the 30-day consultation period, i.e latest by 21/04/2025, at consultation@fmo.nl. You will receive a confirmation of receipt. Upon publication of the final Position Statement, a summary of the main elements of feedback received from stakeholders and FMO’s response will be prepared and published on our website.
