Nippon Sanso Holdings Corp discloses a public commitment to align its policy engagement with climate goals, noting a "public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement." However, the company provides no detail on any governance structures or processes for direct or indirect lobbying, no description of how these activities are monitored or managed, and no named individual or formal body responsible for oversight of its advocacy alignment. We found no evidence of audit or review procedures, sign-off mechanisms, or criteria for evaluating its participation in external associations against its climate commitments.

Nippon Sanso Holdings provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. The company identifies an indirect channel of engagement—its membership in the Japan Chemical Industry Association (JCIA) and participation in JCIA working teams—but gives no information on the types of meetings, submissions or correspondence involved, nor does it name any government bodies or individual officials it seeks to influence. While it references compliance with national legislation such as Japan’s “Act on the Rational Use of Energy and Conversion to Non-Fossil Energy Sources” and the “Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures,” these laws are mentioned only in the context of regulatory compliance, and the company does not indicate that it lobbied on them or on any other specific policy. The disclosures likewise stop short of describing clear policy positions or changes it wishes to see; beyond a broad statement that “the Japanese government’s FYE2050 carbon neutrality declaration is an ambitious goal, but we believe it is the ideal way to move toward a sustainable society” and an intention to embed climate initiatives in its medium-term plan, no concrete legislative or regulatory outcomes are articulated. As a result, the company’s transparency extends little further than acknowledging association membership and general support for carbon neutrality, without detail on the policies, targets, or outcomes it actively seeks to shape.
