Airtel Africa provides a glimpse of oversight for its government engagement by stating that "The Board has empowered the CEOs and chief regulatory officers of our operating companies to represent them at various country-level engagements with governments and regulators" and that "Management keeps the Board informed of regulatory developments in the markets on a monthly and quarterly basis." It further notes that "from time to time, we also commission audits to verify levels of regulatory compliance," showing that at least some review mechanism exists. However, the disclosure focuses on general regulatory and licensing issues, with no description of processes to ensure that lobbying positions—direct or through industry bodies—are aligned with climate objectives, nor any mention of monitoring indirect lobbying, setting alignment criteria, or publishing a dedicated lobbying-alignment review. Consequently, while there is evidence of board-level oversight and periodic compliance audits, the company does not disclose a structured governance framework that explicitly manages or aligns its lobbying activities, especially on climate-related matters, or identifies responsible individuals beyond the broad references above.
