Nestlé Malaysia Bhd has established a robust governance structure for managing its ESG and sustainability agenda, but it does not disclose any governance process for its lobbying activities. The evidence outlines an "ESG AND SUSTAINABILITY GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE" supported by a "Sustainability Steering Committee" that convenes "monthly Sustainability Steering Committee meetings" and oversees workstreams such as "Communication and Advocacy", "2050 Net Zero", and reviews "Climate Change (GHG emissions)" as a key CSV topic. However, we found no evidence of any internal mechanisms, oversight structures, or accountability measures specifically governing direct or indirect lobbying, no named individual or formal body charged with reviewing or approving lobbying positions, nor any description of a process to align lobbying with the company’s climate or sustainability policies, indicating an absence of transparent lobbying governance.

Nestlé Malaysia provides only high-level statements about its climate-policy engagement. It indicates that it advocates for broad areas such as “regenerative agriculture and policies that halt deforestation,” “waste management schemes and legislation that increase recycling rates,” and “transparent carbon pricing,” but it does not name any specific bills, regulations or jurisdictions, leaving readers unable to see which concrete measures it has attempted to influence. The company also says it will “expand its advocacy for ambitious government policies and private sector leadership” and that it “engage[s] with green logistics programs, the logistics industry, government organizations and NGOs,” yet it offers no detail on the actual lobbying mechanisms it employs—such as meetings, submissions, or letters—nor does it identify the individual government bodies or officials it targets. Likewise, the outcomes Nestlé seeks remain generic, couched in aspirations for “clear and fair rules” and “clear standards that legitimize high-quality insetting and offsetting,” without specifying measurable policy changes or timelines. Overall, the disclosure signals some intention to influence climate-related policy but lacks the specificity needed to understand what, how, and to what end the company is lobbying.
