Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Ooredoo QPSC’s disclosures centre on “environmental, social and governance issues” with the Board embedding ESG into its structure—“the Ooredoo Group is putting more emphasis on environmental, social and governance issues by making sure that all Board members are aware of related strategies and risks” and “All Group Boards have an Audit and Risk Committee that reviews all sustainability issues facing the company,” supported by a “dedicated ESG Team … working on a process to integrate sustainability into regular Board level reviews.” The Nomination and Remuneration Committee (now the Remuneration, Nomination and Sustainability Committee) has been “assigned responsibility for ESG matters” and “ESG working groups have been established across all OpCOs,” even linking executive compensation through “sustainability-linked KPIs tied to performance and pay.” However, these disclosures focus on sustainability management and sponsorship policies—“our sponsorship and donation policy is clear and transparent, ensuring that our contributions support initiatives that resonate with our corporate values”—rather than any internal mechanisms to govern or align the company’s direct or indirect lobbying activities. We found no evidence of who oversees lobbying, how lobbying is monitored or reviewed, or any policy to ensure its alignment with corporate goals, indicating that the company does not disclose a governance process for lobbying.

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	The disclosure offers virtually no transparency about climate-related lobbying. It references a Memorandum of Understanding that aspires to "address environmental challenges such as climate change through collective action" and to "support sustainability development through policy exchange to advance carbon capture," but it never identifies a single law, regulation, or government proposal the company has tried to influence. Likewise, the text describes internal activities—workshops, knowledge-sharing sessions and a Climate Action Working Group—yet provides no information on the mechanisms, such as letters, meetings, or consultation submissions, that would constitute lobbying, nor does it name any policymaking targets. Finally, the company does not state what concrete policy changes it is seeking; ambitions such as "promote the exchange of experiences in the field of circular economy and low carbon technologies" remain broad and non-committal. As a result, the disclosure leaves readers without details on policies lobbied, lobbying methods, or specific outcomes sought.	E
