Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Krung Thai Bank provides only limited visibility into its climate-related lobbying. It names a single, identifiable policy engagement—the development of the Thailand Sustainable Finance Taxonomy with the Bank of Thailand—and offers a brief description of that taxonomy’s scope in the energy and transport sectors. The disclosure identifies its target interlocutor (the Bank of Thailand), yet gives no information about how the bank actually sought to influence the process, such as specific meetings, submissions, or coalition work. The bank simply states its support for the taxonomy and notes its alignment with the Paris Agreement, but it does not spell out any concrete changes, amendments, or thresholds it is advocating. Because it reveals just one policy interaction, provides only a high-level reference to its engagement method, and lacks detail on the specific outcomes it is pursuing, the overall transparency of its climate lobbying remains limited.
