Mitsuba Corp indicates that it maintains a “public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement”; however, we found no evidence of any process for reviewing or monitoring these lobbying activities, nor does the company disclose any individual or formal body responsible for overseeing alignment, and no details are provided on how direct or indirect lobbying is governed or aligned with its climate objectives. This suggests that while the company has established a commitment to align its engagement with the Paris goals, it does not disclose concrete governance mechanisms, oversight structures, or accountability measures for its lobbying activities.

Mitsuba Corp offers only a modest degree of transparency around its climate-policy lobbying. It does disclose the exact ordinance it engaged on – the Gunma Prefecture “2050 Gunma Five Zeros Declaration” implementation ordinance – but this is the sole policy identified. The company also identifies the mechanism and target of its engagement, noting that it held discussions with the Green Innovation Promotion Division within the Governor’s Strategy Department of Gunma Prefecture, yet provides no further examples of how or where it lobbies. Finally, the company sets out a single, concrete outcome it seeks: an amendment that would create exceptions to the ordinance’s renewable-energy requirements for buildings with limited remaining lifespan or insufficient seismic strength, explaining that without such carve-outs “the intended CO₂-reduction effects may not be achieved and investments could be wasted.” Because the disclosure covers only one policy, one avenue of engagement and one desired change, the overall level of transparency remains limited.
