Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Galaxy Surfactants Ltd does not disclose any governance processes that ensure its lobbying or policy advocacy is aligned with its climate commitments. The company describes a “3 tier structure of committees to drive the sustainability program,” with a Steering Committee that “consists of a Board of directors,” Working Pillars of process heads, and Working Groups that meet “once in a 4 months,” but this framework appears focused on internal sustainability initiatives such as following a “pathway of 1.5 Deg Celsius” rather than overseeing lobbying activities. Although it asserts it will “continue to influence and collaborate with suppliers and customers,” we found no evidence of how any lobbying is monitored or aligned with its climate policy, no policy or mechanism to review lobbying against its climate commitments, and no individual or formal body tasked with such oversight. The company also explicitly states “No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years” regarding a public commitment to conduct engagement in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Galaxy Surfactants Ltd offers only a partial view of its climate-policy lobbying. It explains that it has been "sharing a perspective with WWF and KPMG for preparation of guidelines" and "attending I-SPOC meetings," but it does not specify which ministries, agencies or elected officials were approached through these activities. The company indicates the policy area it is involved in by referring to work on a "Sustainable Palm Oil Procurement Guide for Conscious Buyers in India," yet it does not name any specific statute, regulation or legislative proposal it sought to influence. Its stated intent is similarly high-level—such as "sharing its perspective during the I-SPOC meetings wherever required to improve the outcome" and a desire to enhance conditions for smallholders—without identifying the concrete policy changes it wants to see adopted. Consequently, while some engagement is acknowledged, the disclosure lacks detail on the exact policies, lobbying targets, and outcomes sought, providing only limited transparency into the company’s climate-related lobbying activities.
