Hong Leong Bank appears to have no disclosed governance process for lobbying. We found no evidence of any policy or mechanism to oversee either direct or indirect lobbying activities. The evidence focuses solely on sustainability governance, noting that “the contents of this Sustainability Report are governed by a Sustainability Committee” and that strategic sustainability priorities are set by the “Board of Directors,” but it does not reference any oversight of lobbying or policy engagement. We found no mention of any individual or formal body overseeing lobbying alignment, nor any process for reviewing the Bank’s positions in trade associations or for aligning its lobbying with climate or sustainability objectives.

Hong Leong Bank discloses only limited information about its climate-related lobbying. It indicates that it takes part in the Joint Committee for Climate Change (JC3) sub-committees and the Bank Negara Malaysia Climate Change and Principle-based Taxonomy (CCPT) Implementation Group, signalling an indirect mechanism – participation in industry and regulatory working groups – yet it does not identify the specific government officials or decision-makers it seeks to influence or describe any direct actions such as letters, consultations or testimony. The Bank names one concrete policy framework, BNM’s CCPT, but offers no further detail on other laws or regulations it may have addressed, leaving its overall policy focus largely undefined. Finally, it sets broad ambitions such as supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy, expanding renewable-energy financing and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, but it does not link these goals to clear changes it wants regulators or legislators to adopt. Collectively these gaps mean the disclosures provide only a partial view of the Bank’s climate lobbying activities, mechanisms and intended policy outcomes.
