Axiata Group Bhd
- Paris Agreement alignment
Axiata integrates climate considerations into its broader sustainability governance, with the Board Sustainability Committee "having oversight of management deliverables and activities with respect to a broad spectrum of sustainability matters and scrutiny of climate-related risks, opportunities and measurement," and the Sustainability Steering Committee ensuring coordination across Group and OpCo sustainability teams. However, the company does not disclose any dedicated governance process for its lobbying or policy advocacy activities, lacking information on how these are monitored, reviewed for alignment with its climate change strategy, or overseen by a specific individual or body. It articulates its engagement approach as "Policy advocacy across the countries we operate in to encourage positive action, including by enabling incentives and market mechanisms in support of a net-zero economy" and affirms "Yes" to having "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement," but provides no further detail on oversight, sign-off or alignment mechanisms specific to its lobbying activities.
