Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd
- Paris Agreement alignment
- Direct lobbying governance
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd has implemented a structured approach to align its lobbying with its climate strategy, though it does not disclose a defined process for ensuring consistency across its indirect engagements through trade associations. The company explains that "all the policy decisions @M&M are taken at the Qtrly Group Sustainability Council level, Recommendations are collected thru stakeholder engagement and submitted to the concern policy office," illustrating a formal mechanism for reviewing climate-related policy proposals. It affirms a public commitment to operate "in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement," and asserts that "we continuously review and monitor our public policy engagements," which underscores its intent to align advocacy with its climate objectives. Oversight is clearly attributed to "Ms. Abanti Sankaranarayanan, the Chief Group Public Affairs Officer who also oversees Group Sustainability," a member of the Group Executive Board charged with ensuring its lobbying efforts "align with broader sustainability objectives." However, while the organisation "actively participates in lobbying and advocacy efforts ... with ... trade associations," it does not disclose specific procedures for assessing or reconciling the positions of those associations when they may diverge from its climate commitments.
