Direct Lobbying Transparency

| Limited | BDO Unibank provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. The bank notes that it works through the Asian Transition Finance Study Group and refers generally to “transition finance guidelines” and “countries’ policies including national taxonomies,” signalling that it engages with broad categories of climate policy but without naming any specific laws or regulations. It simply states that it “collaborates with public authorities and TF receivers,” offering no detail on whether this collaboration takes the form of meetings, written submissions, or other lobbying channels, nor does it identify which government bodies are approached. The disclosure also stops short of defining concrete policy goals: it expresses a desire to accelerate transition finance and support renewable-energy projects that reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, yet it does not spell out the legislative changes, targets, or amendments it is advocating. Because the statement lists only broad policy areas, omits the mechanics and targets of engagement, and limits its discussion of desired outcomes to high-level aspirations, the transparency of its lobbying activities remains minimal. | 1 |
