Shizuoka Financial Group Inc states “Yes” when asked if it has a “public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.” However, the company does not disclose any details of internal oversight structures, monitoring mechanisms, or a designated individual or committee responsible for ensuring that its lobbying—direct or indirect—is aligned with its climate policy, and we found no evidence of any specific processes for reviewing or managing its climate-related lobbying activities.

Shizuoka Financial Group provides only high-level statements about its sustainability ambitions and collaboration with local stakeholders, without disclosing concrete information on its climate-policy lobbying activities. Although it refers to working with “local governments” and to “deploying comprehensive support for not just customer (local) solutions but also reflecting the distinctive features of the region (area),” it never explains what form this engagement takes, whom it contacts, or through which channels. The disclosures likewise omit any mention of specific climate-related laws, regulations, or policy proposals the company has tried to influence; there is only broad language about “supporting decarbonization and industrial structural transformation” and “promoting net-zero GHG emissions in the company (Scopes 1, 2).” Finally, while the group cites internal and regional emissions-reduction goals—such as “achieving carbon neutrality … by FY2030” and “reducing Shizuoka Prefecture’s GHG emissions by 46% vs. FY2013”—it does not link these goals to any policy changes it seeks or explain the outcomes it would like policymakers to adopt. Overall, the company offers virtually no transparency on its climate-related lobbying strategy, mechanisms, or objectives.
