Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Strong	Petronas Gas Bhd demonstrates a strong level of transparency in its climate lobbying activities by clearly detailing its mechanisms and targets, naming the principal policy it has engaged with, and setting out the specific outcomes it seeks. The company describes the CEO Action Network (CAN) as a “Malaysian closed-door peer-to-peer informal network of CEOs and Board members focused on sustainability advocacy” and outlines its use of roundtable discussions, advisory services, policy-shaping initiatives, and internal resource mobilization with key federal and state stakeholders including EPU, KeTSA, KASA, MITI, MOT, and MOSTI. It identifies its engagement on Malaysia’s Dasar Tenaga Negara 2022-2040 (DTN2040), centering on climate-related reporting under climate change mitigation, and details desired policy outcomes such as “Increase penetration of renewables,” “Electrify the economy, with transport as key focus,” “Develop and leverage new technologies e.g. hydrogen, bioenergy, biofuels,” “Introduce mandatory carbon accounting and disclosure,” “Introduce carbon pricing to incentivise low-carbon solutions,” and “Intensify transparent Communication, Engagement and Public Awareness (CEPA).”	3

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Petronas Gas Bhd has a public commitment to align its engagement activities with the goals of the Paris Agreement, stating “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, the company does not disclose any process for monitoring or managing its lobbying activities, does not name any individual or committee responsible for oversight, and provides no information on how it aligns either its direct advocacy or work through industry associations with its climate policy. We found no evidence of a structured governance framework or accountability mechanisms to ensure its lobbying efforts support its stated climate objectives.	1
