Full assessment

Asian Paints Ltd describes a framework whereby it "work[s] through industry associations such as Indian Paints Association, Confederation of Indian Industries, etc. and/or directly engage[s] with the statutory authorities on regulatory policies" to ensure alignment with its climate strategy, and it notes that "there are specified officials in the Company who are authorized to communicate with the industrial bodies and managing government affairs in accordance with [its] Communication Policy of the Company." It also confirms a public commitment "to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement," and states that its trade-association advocacy includes "environmental policies as well which is in line with our overall climate change strategy such as our emphasis on RE and plastic waste management." These disclosures demonstrate that the company has established a policy framework and designated authorities to guide both direct and indirect lobbying in support of its climate priorities. However, the company does not disclose any formal review or monitoring process for assessing the climate alignment of these activities, nor does it name a specific individual or committee with oversight responsibility for its lobbying efforts.
