Nidec Chaun-Choung Technology Corp provides a basic description of how it oversees engagement related to its climate strategy, stating that “All of NCCI's sustainability activities are under the responsibility of a single functional unit – Corporate Energy Management,” and that “Environmental and energy-related policies and targets are set by the General Manager, and related measures and financial support go through a corporate approval process and are countersigned by all company department heads before being finally approved by the General Manager's Office.” The company also notes an annual review cycle in which “the effectiveness of each measure is evaluated by the department heads and finally reviewed by the general manager's office before the energy plan for the following year is formulated,” explaining that this process “ensures that the impact of all direct and indirect activities on policy is consistent with your overall climate change strategy.” These statements indicate some internal oversight and periodic review of policy-related engagement, suggesting limited governance of climate-related advocacy. However, the disclosure does not clarify whether this process covers formal lobbying activities, provide any mechanism for checking alignment of trade-association positions, or identify a dedicated board-level body responsible for lobbying oversight; nor does it describe any monitoring or corrective actions for misaligned lobbying. Consequently, while there is evidence of a review and sign-off structure, the company does not disclose a detailed lobbying-governance framework or specific procedures for aligning direct and indirect climate lobbying with its stated goals.
