Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Scientex BHD’s disclosures describe “a robust governance structure that involves key internal stakeholders at all levels of the Group,” including a Board-led regime anchored by a “Sustainability Steering Committee” which “provides leadership and drives the process of identifying potential sustainability topics” and “sets key performance indicators for the management of the strategies identified.” However, the company does not disclose any governance process specific to its lobbying activities—there is no mention of policies or procedures for overseeing lobbying alignment, no indication of direct or indirect lobbying monitoring, and no named individual or committee responsible for lobbying oversight. We found no evidence of any mechanisms to review or manage lobbying or climate-related lobbying in the disclosures provided. View Sources	E

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Scientex Berhad offers a limited but concrete glimpse into its climate-related lobbying. It identifies a single policy focus—the Malaysia Plastics Sustainability Roadmap 2021-2030—explaining that it has “been active in the working group organised by the Ministry of Environment and Water (KASA), providing support in developing actions required to achieve the targets which the MPSR has set.” The company also names a specific mechanism and target for this engagement, noting its participation in the Plastic Sustainability and Circularity Working Group with KASA and describing how it “share[s] our experience and insights… to enhance Malaysia’s approach to plastic sustainability.” Finally, it sets out the broad outcome it seeks—advancing the roadmap’s circular-economy and sustainability goals. While the disclosure is clear for this single initiative, the company does not discuss any other climate-related policies, additional lobbying channels, or multiple, quantified outcomes, so its overall transparency remains limited.
