Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Karur Vysya Bank Ltd outlines a clear ESG governance structure but does not disclose any governance processes for direct or indirect lobbying activities, including those related to climate policy. The bank’s framework ensures that “All the policies are approved by the Board of Directors or CSR & ESG committee of the Board of Directors as applicable,” and delegates oversight to a Board-level CSR & ESG Committee which “shall be responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of the Bank’s ESG policy framework.” The roles and responsibilities are further specified—with the Chief Operating Officer named as the executive owner of ESG implementation and BRSR reporting and an executive CSR Committee charged with policy execution—but there is no mention of any committee, executive, or process tasked with aligning or reviewing lobbying efforts, nor evidence of a climate-lobbying audit, an alignment review, or criteria for engaging with or exiting trade associations based on their climate positions. While the bank includes “Principle 7: Businesses, when engaging in influencing public and regulatory policy, should do so in a manner that is responsible and transparent,” it does not describe how it governs, monitors, or enforces alignment of its lobbying with its climate or ESG objectives.
