Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Asset World Corp PCL provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. The company names broad policy areas, noting Thailand’s forthcoming Climate Change Act and the national targets “Thailand has committed to achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2050 and Net-Zero Emission by 2065,” but it does not spell out which specific bills or regulations it has actually tried to influence. Its description of how it lobbies is similarly high-level: it says it works through trade-association memberships such as the Global Compact Network Thailand and the United Nations Global Compact, collaborating to “advance sustainable business practices and advocate for climate policies of Thailand aligned with the Paris Agreement,” yet it offers no detail on concrete mechanisms such as meetings, submissions, or named governmental counterparts. Finally, while the company reiterates its own decarbonisation ambitions and alignment with Thailand’s NDC, it does not state the particular legislative changes or policy outcomes it is seeking. Collectively, these disclosures indicate awareness and some engagement but fall short of transparent, specific reporting on climate-policy lobbying activities.	1

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	Asset World Corp PCL discloses a moderate governance process for climate-related lobbying that is rooted in indirect alignment but lacks clear oversight and monitoring procedures. The company notes that “AWC is actively working to ensure that the hotel brands … associations … align their climate change advocacy efforts with the same goal of restricting global temperature rise to 1.5⁰C,” demonstrating an intent to guide the positions of its investments and member associations. It also states that “AWC’s contribution management system is aligned with the UNGC’s Guide for Responsible Corporate Engagement in Climate Policy,” indicating a policy framework to shape its contributions and lobbying engagements. However, the company does not disclose any specific individual or formal body responsible for overseeing lobbying alignment, nor does it describe any process for reviewing, managing, or escalating lobbying activities to ensure consistency with its climate goals.	2
