Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Strong	Singapore Telecommunications Ltd provides a high level of transparency around its climate-policy engagement. The company names several concrete measures it has worked on, including Australia’s “National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (NGER Act)”, Singapore’s “Resource Sustainability Act”, the “Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme”, Singapore’s Long-Term Low-Emissions Development Strategy, the creation of “a potential national emissions factor registry for Singapore companies”, and recommendations that fed into Australia’s National Disaster Risk Reduction Framework. It also explains how it seeks to influence these measures, describing regular regulatory submissions to the National Environment Agency, mandatory emissions reporting to the Australian regulator, collaboration “together with Ministry of Sustainability and Environment and PricewaterhouseCoopers” on the emissions-factor registry, and its role in the Australian Business Roundtable for Disaster Resilience and Safer Communities whose “key objective … is to influence public policy via evidence-based reporting”. Targets of these efforts are identified by name, such as the NCCS under the Prime Minister’s Office, Singapore’s NEA, and the Australian Government. The company articulates at least two clear policy outcomes: through the Roundtable it presses that “resilience should be incorporated into all aspects of policy and decision making”, and through the registry project it aims to provide “up-to-date and localised emissions factors” to strengthen mandatory carbon accounting. While many other statements focus on compliance rather than policy change, the disclosure still sets out specific goals, mechanisms and counterparties, demonstrating strong transparency overall.	3

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
None	Singtel’s disclosures emphasize a broad sustainability governance framework, stating for example that “the Singtel Board is the highest governing body and has ultimate responsibility for the oversight of Singtel’s sustainability risks and strategy” and that “various committees, including Board committees, oversee different aspects of our sustainability efforts to ensure that our actions are robust and rooted in integrity.” The company outlines its Climate Action Plan, noting it will “manage GHG emissions in line with an ambitious science-based target pathway towards net zero by 2050” and “advocate for climate action with our stakeholders,” but it does not disclose any internal mechanisms, oversight structures, or accountability measures specific to lobbying activities—direct or through industry associations—to ensure alignment with its climate change strategy. We found no evidence of processes such as a lobbying review or board sign-off on lobbying positions, nor any named individual or committee that oversees lobbying alignment with the company’s climate goals.	0
