Lobbying Governance

Mitsubishi Materials discloses a structured process that actively seeks to keep both its direct and indirect policy advocacy in line with its climate strategy. The company states that it is "日本鉱業協会の主要な会員企業であり、協会の委員会等を通じて…当社の気候変動に関連する戦略に沿った政策提言を行っています", demonstrating that it reviews and shapes the industry association’s climate positions so they match the firm’s own commitments, while also noting that "当社会長は東京商工会議所の資源・エネルギー部会の副部会長として政策へ提言を行う場合もある"—evidence that its senior leader engages in direct lobbying. The oversight mechanism is clearly described: these activities are handled by the "気候変動対応部会" (Climate Change Response Subcommittee), whose work is monitored by the "サステナブル経営推進本部" and then "四半期ごとに執行役会、取締役会に報告することとしています", and the head of that headquarters is the President/CEO while the deputy head is a corporate executive officer, indicating named, high-level accountability. This shows strong governance covering both channels of lobbying, with regular board-level reporting; however, the company does not disclose a stand-alone climate-lobbying alignment report or an external audit, so the transparency of outcomes remains limited.
