Responsible Lobbying

Our position

Vove International ApS is not currently engaged in lobbying, and makes no financial or in-kind political contributions. We publish this policy to declare that position and to set out the responsible approach we will follow if we engage in any advocacy or lobbying in the future.

Our approach to responsible lobbying

• Positive impact only: we will lobby only where it contributes to a positive impact on society or the environment. To judge that, we consult the outcome sections of the B Lab Standard and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in particular SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production) and SDG 3.9 (reducing harm from hazardous chemicals and pollution).
• Evidence-based: any position we take will be based on reliable or scientific data.
• Political contributions: we make no financial or in-kind political contributions, and do not fund political parties, candidates, or campaigns.
• Anti-corruption and bribery: we have zero tolerance for corruption and bribery, aligned with the UN Convention against Corruption, and comply with applicable Danish and EU law.
• Intermediaries: we are not a member of any trade association or other organisation that lobbies on our behalf. Before joining one, we check its published positions against this policy. If an organisation we belong to takes a lobbying position that undermines this policy, we raise it in writing, record the discrepancy, publish a note of it on this page, and withdraw if the position is not corrected. Our Direktion reviews all memberships against this policy at least once a year.
• Review: this policy is reviewed and approved by our Direktion at least once a year.

Governance and raising concerns

The Direktion of Vove International ApS is accountable for this policy. Any advocacy or lobbying activity requires the Direktion's prior approval. Anyone can raise a concern about our business conduct or lobbying practices through our grievance procedure at vove.co/pages/grievance or by email to hello@vove.co.
