Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Mobile Telecommunications Co KSCP provides limited transparency on its climate-related lobbying. The disclosures indicate that the company interacts with government bodies – for example, it has “direct engagement with Jordan’s Ministry of Environment and South Sudan’s Ministry of Environment and Forestry” in relation to afforestation projects – but it does not consistently explain the specific tools it uses beyond general "discussions and collaboration." The company identifies broad policy areas such as e-waste management, the Saudi Green Initiative, and national tree-planting programmes, yet it stops short of naming any particular pieces of legislation, regulations, or rule-makings it seeks to influence. Likewise, although it articulates overarching environmental aspirations such as achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and contributing to large-scale tree-planting goals, it does not state the concrete regulatory changes or amendments it is advocating. As a result, while some lobbying targets and thematic policy areas are acknowledged, the company does not provide enough detail on the specific policies, mechanisms, or outcomes to demonstrate more than a limited level of transparency.	1

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
None	Mobile Telecommunications Co KSCP reports that "Zain set benchmarks with respect to existing laws, engaged in lobbying efforts with regulatory bodies at the Group and operational levels, and received consultancy guidance prior to regulations coming into effect" and that it "continues to lobby with regulatory bodies at either the Group or operating company level to engage with regulatory bodies in a proactive and productive manner", further noting it "aligns to international best practices by engaging with entities such as the GSMA". However, the company does not disclose any policy or procedure to ensure that its lobbying activities are aligned with its climate change strategy, nor does it name any individual or committee charged with overseeing lobbying alignment. We found no evidence of a process to monitor or manage climate-related lobbying, and no criteria for assessing the alignment of its direct or indirect lobbying efforts with its climate goals.	0
