Ayala Corp
- Named executive owner
- Paris Agreement alignment
- Direct lobbying governance
Ayala Corp provides extensive detail on its internal climate-risk governance, yet almost nothing on how it manages lobbying or advocacy. The only statement that pertains to lobbying alignment is the affirmation that the company has "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement?[...]Yes", which indicates intent but not process. Other disclosures such as the Board "oversees the group's strategy, systems and procedures, including climate-related issues", the Sustainability Committee's endorsement of the Climate Ambition Project, and the CRO/CSO who "leads integration efforts" all describe climate strategy oversight rather than any mechanism for reviewing or controlling policy advocacy. We found no evidence of procedures that check lobbying positions, assess trade-association alignment, or designate specific oversight for lobbying activities. Therefore, beyond the high-level Paris-alignment pledge, the company does not disclose how it monitors, manages, or enforces consistency in either its direct or indirect lobbying, indicating only limited governance in this area.
This assessment is part of the Lobbying Governance Index, covering 8,500 companies scored on whether they have processes to oversee their climate lobbying. See all companies in Asia-Pacific or all companies in Philippines.
