TOPPAN Holdings has established a board-level Sustainability Promotion Committee chaired by its President, as noted in “取締役会はサステナビリティ推進委員会（委員長：代表取締役社長、以下 委員会）に気候関連課題を担当させています,” and has formed multiple working groups to “評価と対応策のとりまとめ” for climate-related challenges. The company further reports that it “進捗を毎年取締役会へ報告し、単年度目標設定と実施施策に対して取締役会は承認するプロセス” to integrate its 2050 net-zero target and 2030 milestones into overall strategy. However, the company does not disclose any governance processes specifically for its lobbying or policy-influencing activities, such as oversight of direct or indirect lobbying, review of trade-association positions, or policy alignment mechanisms for external engagement, indicating no dedicated lobbying governance framework is apparent in the disclosures.

TOPPAN Holdings provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. It indicates engagement on national decarbonisation policy through collective platforms such as the GX League, described as “an industry-government-academia forum established by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan,” and through the Japan Federation of Printing Industries’ Working Group for Voluntary Action Plans on the Environment. These references show the company is involved in climate policy discussions, but it does not name any specific bills, regulations or consultations it has tried to influence, nor does it explain whether these forums are its sole avenues of engagement. The company identifies participation in these bodies as the main mechanism of influence but gives no detail on how it lobbies within them—no information on position papers, meetings, or correspondence—and it does not name any particular government ministries, legislators, or agencies it targets. Likewise, the disclosure speaks only in broad terms about supporting Japan’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 and encouraging decarbonisation in the printing sector, without stating the concrete policy changes or measurable outcomes it seeks. As a result, the disclosures remain high-level and do not provide a clear picture of the company’s specific lobbying activities, methods, or objectives.
