Lobbying also tends to be more responsible, which can appear antithetical at first sight: most of lobbying practices are denounced as unresponsible by NGOs. As an apprentice in public relationships at GRDF, I asked myself in my research whether “responsible lobbying” practiced by a private company is an oxymoron or not. I defined responsible lobbying as interest representation which does not go against common interest. Reading studies about interest representation, looking for good and bad existing practices, following the work of Transparency International and interviewing some professionals led me to conclude that a private organization’s lobbying can be responsible only if the organization itself has a role in ensuring common interest. To describe companies’ better lobbying approaches as transparency and integrity, the expression “positive lobbying” should rather be used to avoid greenwashing. Then, for lobbying in general to be more responsible, regulation should guarantee transparency and a better equilibrium among all types of lobbyists.
