Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Malayan Banking Bhd does not disclose any governance process for its lobbying activities. The company highlights that "Sustainability KPIs are incorporated into the organisation’s performance setting (scorecard) and adopted by Group EXCO members, impacting executive remuneration" and that "ESG oversight by BOD with KPIs embedded into the Group’s and EXCO’s scorecards"; it also states that "Climate Risk will be governed by our Group Climate Risk Policy, which is guided by the TCFD and BNM’s Exposure Draft on Climate Risk Management & Scenario Analysis" and explains that "Maybank’s Group Sustainability (“GS”) spearheads the development and maintenance of the Framework" which "will be reviewed and updated by GS on an annual basis, and subsequently approved by the Group’s EXCO Sustainability Committee (“ESC")". However, we found no evidence of any governance framework specifically addressing its lobbying or political advocacy activities, including no mention of how direct or indirect lobbying is monitored, managed, aligned, or overseen by any individual or committee.

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	Malayan Banking Bhd provides almost no transparency about any climate-related lobbying. Its disclosures describe internal initiatives such as the Transition Finance Framework and stakeholder workshops, but they do not name any specific climate policies, laws or regulations the bank has tried to influence. The company likewise offers no insight into how it might engage policymakers—there is no mention of letters, meetings, trade-association activity, or any identifiable government targets. Finally, although Maybank speaks in broad terms about the need for “a fundamental transformation in business and finance” and the importance of “developing credible transition plans,” it does not articulate any concrete policy positions or legislative outcomes it seeks through lobbying. In short, the available information contains no evidence of climate-policy lobbying activities, mechanisms, or desired outcomes.	E
