Bank Leumi Le-Israel BM has established a robust framework for managing environmental and climate matters, highlighting that its “אסטרטגיה לניהול היבטי סביבה ואקלים 2021” was “אושרה על ידי ההנהלה והדירקטוריון” and that it has integrated a “מדיניות אקלים” defining responsibilities for “הדירקטוריון, ההנהלה, וחטיבות הבנק השונות” and a dedicated committee chaired by “חבר הנהלה,” complemented by a multi-year “תכנית עבודה לניהול סיכוני סביבה ואקלים” with “יעדים שנתיים וארוכי טווח.” However, despite detailing how the bank governs and updates its climate strategy, the company does not disclose any governance process for lobbying activities. We found no evidence of any mechanism to monitor or align the bank’s direct or indirect lobbying with its climate policy, nor does the company disclose oversight by any individual or committee responsible for lobbying governance.

Bank Leumi Le-Israel BM provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. Its disclosures do name two identifiable policies it has interacted with – Israel’s voluntary national greenhouse gas registry introduced in 2010 and the Banking Supervision Department’s 5 December 2021 “Reporting to the Public” directive on ESG disclosure – giving readers a basic understanding of which rules the bank engages with. Beyond acknowledging participation in these reporting initiatives, however, the bank offers no information about how it tries to influence policy: there is no mention of meetings, letters, consultations, or other advocacy channels, nor are any specific government offices or decision-makers identified as targets of such efforts. Likewise, the bank does not articulate any concrete policy changes it is seeking; it simply notes its alignment with existing requirements and voluntary frameworks such as the TCFD without spelling out desired amendments, new regulations, or measurable goals. This leaves the public with only a partial picture of the bank’s lobbying activity, centred on compliance rather than proactive attempts to shape climate policy.
