Komatsu demonstrates limited governance around ensuring its policy engagement is aligned with its climate strategy, primarily through a broad commitment rather than specific lobbying oversight processes. The company explains that "Komatsu views climate change as an important management issue, and targets for combating climate change have been incorporated into its business strategies," and describes that climate discussions occur at its "Sustainability Promotion Committee" and "Risk Management Committee" which report to the Board of Directors. It also notes that "Komatsu is a member of the trade association called 'Japan Construction Equipment Manufacturers Association' (CEMA) and our CEO is in charge of vice chairman of CEMA," with CEMA able to "comment and cooperate with the government in deciding policies and regulations on construction machinery." Komatsu confirms it has made a public commitment to align its engagement with the Paris Agreement, responding "Yes" to the question of whether it has such a position statement. However, the company does not disclose any specific process for monitoring or managing its direct lobbying or for reviewing the alignment of its association activities with its climate objectives, nor does it identify any individual or formal body that oversees its lobbying alignment.
