Lorenzo Torti’s lobbying focus for Flint Europe predominantly involves advocating for client interests in the UK and across the European Union, operating in a politically complex environment shaped by Brexit and evolving regulatory frameworks. Flint Europe, with Torti as a key figure, seeks to align their lobbying to protect and advance client business interests in the UK market, which remains critical despite the geopolitical changes associated with Brexit.

His lobbying efforts often entail promoting regulatory stability, ensuring favorable access to EU and UK markets, and shaping policies that influence digital, climate, and energy sectors where Flint Europe’s clients operate. For instance, Torti has been engaged in dialogues that balance the need for sustainable climate regulation with the pragmatic timelines and economic impacts on industry. This involves liaising with EU policymakers to moderate the pace of implementing new environmental rules while steering stakeholder consultations that impact UK and EU regulatory alignment post-Brexit.

Underlying his lobbying is a strategic intent to help Flint Europe’s clients navigate regulatory uncertainties, minimize disruptive legislative impacts, and preserve competitive advantages in the UK market amidst changing EU-UK relations. Torti’s approach blends formal lobbying with strategic communications aimed at influencing public and policymaker perceptions about legislative priorities relative to business continuity in the UK.

His work reflects a nuanced balancing act between pushing for business-friendly policies while acknowledging the broader political imperatives around climate action and digital governance. This ensures Flint Europe remains a key interlocutor in EU and UK policy dialogues, reinforcing their influence for client benefit

Lorenzo Torti’s lobbying activities have involved extensive interactions with EU institutions, including high-level meetings with Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), European Commission officials, and regulatory bodies. Documented participation includes meetings attended during his tenure at Flint Europe and Flint Global, where he advocated for adjustments in regulatory timelines, especially around climate and digital regulations, to accommodate industry concerns amid crises like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Notable activities include contributing to efforts requesting delays or adjustments to the implementation of EU climate regulations, supporting industry appeals for staggered deadlines, and engaging in policy fora addressing digital services regulation. His meetings with Commission officials have influenced outcomes such as the postponement of some non-essential regulatory consultations and the recalibration of the European Commission’s work programs to better fit industry capacity during extraordinary circumstances.

These engagements often related directly to client priorities in the UK, aiming to ensure that post-Brexit regulatory divergence is minimized or managed to Flint Europe’s advantage. Torti’s lobbying has also extended to communication strategies that support these regulatory negotiations by framing industry positions in ways that resonate with EU political agendas, emphasizing shared goals such as sustainable growth and digital innovation without compromising business viability.

His recorded European Parliament accreditations (2018-2020) and various collaborative interventions with business associations underline his active role in shaping the EU legislative environment in favor of his clients. This includes nuanced negotiations on the “Green Deal” ambitions and Digital Services Act consultations, ensuring Flint Europe’s clients’ voices are effectively integrated in policy discussions
