Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	The disclosures primarily concern the company’s Insider Trading Policy and related oversight structures, with the Share Trading Compliance Committee “working on establishing procedures, monitoring adherence to the rules of insider trading” under the “overall supervision of the Board of Directors” and a Sustainability Committee “chaired by the Group CEO” supported by various executives to oversee sustainability initiatives. Despite detailed descriptions of compliance and sustainability governance, we found no evidence of any policy or process governing direct or indirect lobbying or of mechanisms to align lobbying activities with climate objectives, nor any named individual or committee tasked with overseeing lobbying efforts. This indicates that the company does not disclose any formal governance framework for lobbying activities. View Sources	E

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Emirates Telecommunications Group’s public reporting offers virtually no transparency on its climate-related lobbying. It does not identify any specific climate policies, bills, or regulations it has tried to influence, gives no description of the methods it uses to engage policymakers, and names no governmental or legislative targets. The disclosures focus on internal decarbonisation goals and on participation in events such as COP28, but they do not reveal what legislative or regulatory changes the company supports or opposes, or why. As a result, there is no clear evidence of actual lobbying activity, the mechanisms through which it might occur, or the outcomes the company seeks to achieve in the policy arena.	E
