Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	PB Fintech Ltd has established a Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting Committee that is tasked with implementing its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting Policy, including "Principle 7: Businesses, when engaged in influencing public and regulatory policy, should do so in a responsible manner." Mr. Yashish Dahiya is named as the "Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting Head," and the committee’s members are clearly identified, with the ability to "take support of such functional head and internal and external experts." The policy further states that the company will "ensure that while pursuing policy advocacy, the advocacy positions [are] ethical and are consistent with the Policies" and will "utiliz[e] trade and industry chambers and associations" for advocacy. However, the company does not disclose any specific process for reviewing or managing its lobbying activities, nor does it provide criteria for aligning either its direct or its indirect lobbying with climate-related objectives. We found no evidence of any periodic audit, oversight by a formal body beyond general policy implementation, or board-level sign-off on public policy positions. View Sources	D

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
None	PB Fintech Ltd offers virtually no transparency about its climate-related lobbying. The company refers in passing to broad frameworks such as the National Voluntary Guidelines on Social, Environmental, and Economic Responsibilities of Business and the Paris Agreement, but it gives no indication that it has actually attempted to influence any specific climate policy, regulation, or piece of legislation. It likewise fails to describe the channels or partners through which it might engage policymakers, beyond a general statement about using trade and industry chambers, and it does not identify any governmental bodies or decision-makers it approaches. Finally, the disclosure contains no information on the concrete policy outcomes the company is seeking to advance or oppose. In short, there is no evidence of substantive disclosure on the policies lobbied, the mechanisms employed, or the outcomes sought in relation to climate policy.	E
