Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	AMMB Holdings Bhd provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. The company notes its participation in the Joint Committee on Climate Change and its collaboration with government and industry partners, indicating a general mechanism of engagement but without naming the decision-makers or describing the form of interaction, such as letters, meetings, or submissions. While the disclosure references national initiatives like Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap and the Ministry of International Trade and Industry’s i-ESG Framework, it does not state that the bank actively lobbied on these measures or identify any other specific policy instruments it sought to influence. Similarly, the report sets out broad ambitions to support decarbonisation pathways and reach net-zero emissions by 2050, yet it does not articulate concrete legislative or regulatory outcomes the bank is advocating. As a result, readers gain little clarity on what policies the company engages, how it seeks to shape them, or the precise changes it wants to see enacted.	D
