Heidelberg Materials employs two EU Government Affairs Managers supported, where needed, by an Association Manager and local Public Affairs Manager. The majority of Heidelberg Materials employees that are engaged in activities falling under the scope of the transparency register only interact with the EU institutions as part of their broader responsibilities (general management, ESG, legal department, etc.) or when their expert knowledge is requested. It mostly involves participation to trade association meetings and third party activities, but may also involve occasional official meetings/events with representatives of the EU institutions. The number of people involved per calendar year depends on the regulatory agenda.

Meetings
Meetings
11 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
