Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Comprehensive	TECO Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd. demonstrates a comprehensive and robust governance process for aligning its lobbying activities with its climate goals. The company has implemented clear oversight and review mechanisms through its Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee, which includes a majority of independent directors, and its ESG Office, which reports directly to the chairman on a monthly basis. These bodies ensure that both direct lobbying efforts and participation in trade associations are rigorously evaluated, as shown by the detailed internal procedures – for example, the company notes that "Lobbying activities related to climate change need to be reviewed by the ESG Office and the implementation is supervised by the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee" and that annual review reports are submitted through this process. Furthermore, TECO's approach, which includes a clearly stated policy to withdraw from associations that do not align with their climate targets, highlights strong accountability and synchronization across departments. This integrated oversight confirmed by published procedures and regular audits reflects a strong commitment to comprehensive climate lobbying governance.	4
