Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
None Singapore Airlines has established detailed sustainability governance structures, notably stating that "Under the guidance of the Board and the Management Committee (MC), SIA’s Sustainability Office (SO) manages day-to-day sustainability matters and spearheads the Group’s sustainability initiatives and agenda." However, the company does not disclose any internal governance process specific to its direct or indirect lobbying activities. The evidence indicates that "SIA works closely with the government, policymakers, and regulators to help shape effective and comprehensive policies and regulations" and that "We also advocate to stakeholders indirectly through our participation in industry and trade associations such as AAPA, IATA, and Star Alliance," but there is no information on how these engagements are overseen, monitored or aligned with SIA’s climate or policy objectives. Likewise, although SIA clarifies that "SIA does not make any contributions towards political campaigns, political organisations, lobbyists, or lobbying organisations," it does not explain who is responsible for these advocacy efforts, what processes exist to review association memberships' positions, or how alignment with climate goals is ensured.

Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
Limited Singapore Airlines provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. It references broad policy areas such as the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), Singapore’s Sustainable Air Hub Blueprint and the industry-wide Global SAF Declaration, indicating that it engages with topics like sustainable aviation fuel and carbon-neutral growth, but it does not clearly identify any specific pieces of legislation or regulations it has tried to influence. The company says it “will continue to collaborate with governments” and notes work with the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), IATA and other partners, yet it does not explain how that collaboration is carried out—no meetings, letters, consultations or other lobbying channels are described, nor are individual decision-makers named. Similarly, while SIA expresses overall aims such as achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, substituting 5 % of fuel with SAF by 2030 and developing “a robust sustainable aviation fuel supply chain and carbon market,” it does not translate those aspirations into concrete policy changes it is seeking. As a result, the disclosures reveal only that the airline engages with climate-policy topics, not the specific policies, methods or outcomes of its lobbying efforts.
