Tech Mahindra Ltd
- Board oversight
- Paris Agreement alignment
- Direct lobbying governance
- Regular monitoring cycle
Tech Mahindra articulates a high-level commitment to responsible and transparent policy advocacy, stating "Principle 7: Businesses, when engaging in influencing public and regulatory policy, should do so in a manner that is responsible and transparent" and affirming "Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement? [...] Yes." However, we found no evidence of any formal governance process for its direct or indirect lobbying activities - no named individual or committee is identified for reviewing advocacy positions, nor are there described procedures for aligning lobbying with climate goals. While Tech Mahindra's Board of Directors, through the CSR Committee and the Board-led Risk Management Committee, "reviews periodic updates on Sustainability & Climate change targets" and "monitors, assesses, and reviews climate risks on a quarterly basis, following the guidelines set by the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)," these mechanisms relate solely to climate risk management rather than to lobbying oversight. There is no disclosed process for trade-association reviews, pre-approval of policy positions, or an external lobbying audit, indicating limited transparency on how lobbying activities are managed in practice.
